Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass High & Low Vulnerability to Angling

Not an easy issue to manage. Bill posted did a PB article with IIRC Dave Willis on practical options. One method is don't take out the fish caught by angling. Instead, assuming you electrofish , take out a random sample then. Again, there is a lot here on "catchability" and or "aggressiveness".
