I guess the main question is, are the large numbers of yellow bass hurting the crappie fishing? Do yellow bass eat crappie eggs? Do they eat a lot of the small crappie fry? The yellows can put a serious dent in a minnow supply - just another reason to use jigs this time of year .
I don't know enough about Yellow Bass to even make a wild guess, on your questions :p
But, almost all fish prey on, or have an impact on other fish ... whether it be concerning the food supply, predator/prey relationship, or just overcrowding of a lake's biomass limit.
I'll have to do some research on "Yellers" ... and see what I can come up with.
