those are coastwide numbers wdmso. no one can take river herring though the large trawlers do get some river in the mix. the comm bass quota I believe has been the same for the last 20 years - 1.15. if we go over 1 year it gets deducted off the next season - which is why 2013 is at 997. I think a lot of guys lump rod/reel comms into the same category as draggers, gill netters, purse seiners etc. which I don't believe is an accurate portrayal. rod/reel is a relatively "clean" fishery with very little bycatch
