And if they are going to be killed then there shouldn't be any worries about them spreading around and hurting other "Native" species.

FYI,bass grow so slowly in cold Canadian waters with their extremely short growing season that a put-and-take fishery is out of the question unless you'd like to fish for 4 inch bass before they die next winter.Typically it takes a CDN smallmouth anywhere from 5-8 years just to reach a halfways respectable 3lbs.Canadian Shield bass that reach a whopping 5 lbs are often as much as 15 years old and more.
