AGree with you proper harvest is a key to produce a good fishery. What is the proper species number and size needs to be determined. If gills/redear are really big may be predator dominant with bass, walleye and pike. If so you might need to lessen the cull of bluegill. Seems funny when you catch that many but they can be limited this is why they are big. Uphill battle convincing many. I deal with "old school" folks alot that think catch and release is only way to manage. If there is a reliable fishery biologist in the area even your game and fish you might get them involved to help your arguement. If not maybe get some ear plugs
