"So according to you, as an example, a resonate 14 or 1/2 monopole will
extract more energy than a non-resonate 5/8 monopole."
A 5/8-wavelength monopole has a directive gain over a 1/4-wavelength
self-resonant monopole.
However, the 5/8-wavelength monopole must be resonated externally to
remove its reactance to take advantage of its extended length so that
the volts per meter it is exposed to can make a large current flow in
the antenna.
