That is a beautiful pond!
I'm not frustrated at all -- after all it's his property and a man can do what he wants
In my pond, we manage for big LMB. We remove every LMB shorter than 14" caught by rod and reel. Over the past few years we've had a big turn around in the fish populations to the point where catching a 3-4# bass is not uncommon. And we did it without purchasing a single fish. It would have been faster to remove the LMB (maybe by electroshocking) and then buy large BG, but it wasn't in the budget.
