Okay guys here is my question. I have posed this on a couple of boards to try to come to an answer to my quandry.
We have fished “Little Sherman” the last couple of days and have caught hundreds of little fish. All of the crappies are in the 5″ to 7″ range and the bluegills are up to maybe 5″ in length.
They light up your vexilar like it is burning up.
We have caught nothing larger and no predator fish.
My question is this: What causes fish to stunt? Lack of food? Lack of predator? Or just overpopulation?
Next question is: Can a stunted fish be taken from one lake to another and grow there or is its biological clock all messed up?
Next question is: If a stunted fish is transplanted into a different lake will it propagate?
Next question is: What is the best means of changing this problem? The intoduction of a predator fish? What size predator would need to be added? What would be a good predator in a lake with extreme draw down?
