Todd,
I have had exactly the same common sense thoughts....not about limiting removal to electro-fishing...but that the common management practice of removing small bass actually makes the situation much worse in terms of catching LMB in a closed small pond environment.
You end up with bass that a) either won't take artificials to start with or b) bass that been previously released because it passed a slot limit but will no longer fall to artificials. I really believe that is my situation in my main pond.
Electro-fishing might be an option, but that kind of takes the fun out of it...then on the other hand, its no fun to catch only small bass or no bass either.
Interesting to hear what others think.
