Probably be a little challenge with that size lake, but the overpopulated bass are really aggressive on a hook, to the point you can almost hook a couple at a time, we have a pond over here close that is overpopulated and you can load a boat up fast with them, with just a rod and reel.
Most of the time when you reel one in there will be others coming along trying to steal whatever they think hes got, multiple times we had two on one topwater plug, both trying to get to it first.
Point is, at the right time, a couple people in a small boat, can make a pretty good dent in them.
I watched the Conservation Dept shock survey a pond for a friend of mine and it was a pathetic performance, their rattling boat and rod contraption didn't float enough fish to have any reasonable idea of how many fish were in the lake, I don't think they floated one crappie and I caught fine stringers of them in that lake many many times, and the few bass they floated were no wheres close to indicative to the amount of nice bass that pond held.
I just sorta deducted the whole shocking thing as a joke, compared to the stories Ive heard of floating a huge portion of the ponds contents with a electroshock rig. these guys had a noisy generator on a aluminum boat clanging rods and contraption, by the time they pulled it up to a bank to try to shock some bass, all the fish done cleared out to the far side of the pond, long before they got to them, they just got a few of the slowest fish.
