Would you say the number 1 predator is humans or large fish?

“ A single female crappie can lay between 10,000 and over 60,000 eggs in a single spawning season. These eggs are laid in shallow water nests, and a female may spawn multiple times over the course of a few days, depositing eggs in different nests to ensure genetic diversity and higher hatching...

You sound like one of those walleye guys that blame everything else when you don’t catch fish. The Bass/Northern/Muskie, etc are all eating the walleye…as they pull bucket full after bucket full of walleye out yea4 after year. It’s been proven that large predators like bass/norther/muskie eat...

This is what it looked like 5 or 6 years ago, so naturally, my wife is a little annoyed by my experiment.

A few years ago I grafted a few (5-8) different Scion onto this crab tree. Last year and this year the original tree seems very unhealthy. I cut out all the dead branches this Spring, and plucked all the fruit, hoping it would bounce back, but it still looks weak. The only healthy parts are...
