I HATE cormorants with a passion, but if they tend to select the smaller, more abundant bass, maybe they can be helpful in some situations. I recall Bob Lusk wrote about a neglected pond that was full of big LMB, much to his surprise. Later he figured out that while fishermen didn't cull the little guys, cormorants did. And they don't select the most aggressive fish to eat.

That said, I still hate cormorants.
