The reality is the conservative lawmakers hate any kind of enforcement that drains budgets. In Brooklyn there are only 2 DEC officers! The com guys that get tags every year don't even need tags, don't use them, don't need them. On a separate note,Where was the national media (CNN, NPR, Fox, NY Times.) When they found that illegally submerged gill net in the Chesapeake with 10 tons of bass?! Or the NC Dragger massacre 3 years ago? I saw a couple articles in the Baltimore Sun, that was all? So basically no press coverage re this historically important fish. Sad because there are a lot of real Journalist that could help, but don't because quite frankly they are scared. I don't blame them, I wrote a book on subject my life will never be the same. But yet these Junalist profess to be Bass fisherman with an affinity with the fish. We need more Jim Whites (from Russell's Striper Wars) and C Sherman's out there.
