Theo,

I don't have any data, but don't believe this would be effective. It's the bass(males especially) that survive to 8 to 10 inches that need to be removed. A very high % of those 2 to 3 inchers that you might seine will be eaten anyway....and actually be good "forage" for the larger LMB. Its the ones that you would miss and the ones that survive to get to 8 to 10 inches that are of concern and seining will not impact them.
