Out of curiosity - is it about the same percentage bycatch by a troller vs a pogie boat ?

Pogey Boat article

Based on that article
Menhaden-611 million lbs
Shrimp-64 million lbs
—noaa 2020 study for Louisiana

At 10x the catch amount I would assume the by catch is significantly more.

Higher for pogey boats. Trawls have bycatch reduction devices to try to cut down on other species getting caught in the nets. Pogey nets indiscriminately catch everything and by the time the nets get pulled out of the water, everything that got caught in the net has already died of suffocation.
