Yes. That's what is has to do with. Think about it.... 1- Taking home lots of small fish, planter sizish ones makes there be less fish that have the potential to grow up big. 2- Keeping medium size fish reduces the amount of ones that could potentially get large. It also takes a bit of time for them the reach medium size so replenishing them isn't that fast. 3-Taking large fish home home obviously eliminates the ammount of the type of fish you want and it takes a long period of time for fish to grow that way. The larger the fish, the longer its going to take another one to grow that big and make up for it.
Select harvest is a no duh type of thing. It's just leaving bigger fish inside of the water. Obviously being in the water is required to get big but the main factors in how big fish are going to get has to do with the lake size, the ammount of feed and the total number of fish including undesired fish like carp, chubs, etc. Ultimately people wishing to keep fish are doing the right thing with keeping a variety of sizes of fish except the large ones. If literally everyone started only keeping small ones then there wouldn't be very many left to try and make it to adult hood. Keep to many medium ones and there's not enough once to get potentially big.
People just need to let people who want to keep fish do it and this is coming from a guy who never keeps his fish. They aren't doing any more harm keeping a variety of sizes except the large ones because obviously they're rare and take a long time to go that long.
