The actual impact of a second fish at 28 inches is not as strong as people might think. IIRC something like 14% of anglers with one fish are likely to keep a second (they often don't even catch the second). So pulling the plug on the second take-home bass would be good, the overall impact is light. Looking at it from the other way that some management people toss it around, it might be somewhat benefitial that a mildly higher number of bass are being taken considering the lack of forage fish.
