Just a thought but has anyone tried to use a large mesh gillnet to selectively remove these large fish? I know it's done to selectively remove paddlefish for harvest.

I seem to remember when working as a biologist aid, the next largest fish are largemouths and they seemed to avoid gillnets. Not 100 percent but pretty close to it.

This may also work to remove those large channel cats that get hard to catch.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
