Caught!
Just finished the book "Caught". Entertaining read and somewhat disturbing at the end. The author did a good job of portraying himself as a selfish bass fisherman who sells everything he can catch on the black market.
The disturbing part comes in the last chapter and an especially good Afterword written by Zack Harvey.
Zack is a knowledgeable writer and great striper fisherman who knows his stuff.
Both Zack and Jeff Nichols go into details about he striper population being in grave danger and a moratorium being on the horizon, etc, etc.
Now this isn't big news. We all know the stocks are down and fishing, though still decent if you know the right places, is nowhere near where it was from 2004 to 2008. What was disturbing to me was that I had not seen it put in such succinct terms previously. I think that in 5 years, if something isn't done immediately, we will all be Bluefishermen rather than Striper fishermen.
