Ya but the good thing is they aren't going to stay short forever like fish can in a small over pressured and over harvested lake as the eyes have plenty of food and these are the fish you will be eating next year, the year after, and the years after that one may be hanging on your wall. Lots of smalls only mean great fishing for years not too mention they are of the size we don't have to worry about them not making it. Enjoy it while it is good.
