Pruning Blackberry

Question

Here it’s the 1st of June in east Texas an my second year vines (Arapaho,) have grown their new shoots upwards to around 7’ or more. Should I let them grow or prune back to my 4’ fence height. I’m pretty clear on winter pruning and don’t want to mess my bushes up. This is just first season since I planted them last spring of 2020 and they are producing like crazy. Thanks Dennis
