GW, the problem is that cormorants don't keep cull records nor do they honor slot limits.
I don't know about that Sunil, Shorty's post seem to suggest that one tried to eat a 17" fish and failed. It stands to reason that they would probably be most successful in the 10-15" range, and that seems like a common population to target for culling.
I don't think the poacher analogy works either Bruce because people will target the largest fish they can catch, not the largest they can swallow whole.
Mr. H's big pond is overpopulated with 12-15" LMB. Would it not be beneficial if a small flock of cormorants preyed on them for a period of time? I'm not saying let them wipe out every fish, I'm just saying that at this point the help in culling those LMB would be very beneficial to his pond.
