I am not personally convinced that the Kokes were expected to become so good there in the first place. To me, it looked like an experiment that worked, but the wheels were already turning on the addition of the predators so the Kokes got caught in the crosshairs.
The perch are not a problem there, but the smallmouth bass are. I think the predators are in there to put a serious hurt on the smallies to get the population back in line. At least they are sterile predators that are more easily controlled once the smallies are back in line. Then the Kokes should start to meet their full potential.
Interesting analysis, interesting conclusions, but, believe it or not, I think the issue is even more complex. uggg.
