From everything I have read on Clear lake is that it has an enormous population of 4-7lb bass. Removing bass could definitely improve the fishing for top end bass, coupled with a probable increase in Hitch from all the measures, could make for some really special fishing. Also if less tournaments came to Clear Lake that would probably benefit the fishing too, from a boat traffic stand point. It wouldn't help the local economy but this is a fishing forum.

Also can Hitch be breed in fish farms and stocked other places? From a surviving stand point not a legal or any other perspective. Hitch stocking could be pretty interesting. Re-stocking Clear lake with hitch and maybe other lakes.
