Here's a thought. According to the book, we should be removing around 25 lbs lmb/acre/year to alleviate competition and grow larger fish.
Assuming this is actually performed by lake owner by hook and line, this practice would select for fish that weren't easy to catch. Could harvest of bass in this manner encourage the production hard to catch lmb?
I've come to the conclusion that bass harvest should be done via electrofishing or other more non-selective means, removing males from the system.
Your thoughts.......
