I also live in Kansas. You might check with the Kansas Fish & Game people. I have a big lake about 22 miles from where I live, so they aren't too far away. They have put their "shock" boat in my pond. It generates an electrical charge which causes the fish to come to the surface so they can be netted. We checked the fish population (both species and numbers of each species) and physical condition. It didn't cost anything. If fact I had a small overpopulation of 7'-9" bass and they moved a couple dozen of them to a nearby state lake. My pond is about 2 to 21/2 surface acres. We brought one of my old grass carp up - weighed 32#.
