Snipe,
I really appreciate you doing "extra" work to post this reply - above and beyond just typing up your own personal knowledge for the benefit of the forum.
I have been through all of the Regulations posted to the KDWPT site and through all of the KDWPT Statutes.
There is no on-point language to address this issue directly in either set of documents. The biologist is our expert, and he may be uncertain, because there is no clear controlling language!
Slightly off topic: Did you try to grow out 34 spotted bass, and have only two males survive? Were you raising them in a grow-out pond, or in an aquaculture set up? If the young are that picky about eating, I guess we know why spotted bass are not carried by any commercial growers. It also means trying for a spotted bass pond is WAY above my pay grade.
