I believe the consensus on here is for a more conservative catch limit. something on the order of 25-30% reduction in mortality spread acroos the user-groups. (I had a post on here earlier this summer that was to that effect- which was supported by John and others....)
I don't think its fair, (nor is it any way politically FEASIBLE) to go for gamefish status. theres too many users in the equation to try and mandate everyone to give up harvesting bass...just for our own selfish interests. and, the fishery is certainly able to withstand some harvest.
I'm not a "commercial fishing is evil" kinda guy
