Very dramatic but way off base.

Here's where I see how the differences in opinion lie .
1) I believe two fish at 33 inches will result in significantly less fish killed by charterboats
2) I believe, at least in my area, that going to one fish at 28 inches will result in a significant loss of business.
3) I believe the targeted 25% reduction will be attained and will significantly improve the health of the striped bass population.
4) I don't believe the doom and gloom outlook on the future of the striped bass if the targeted 25% reduction takes place.
5) I believe in figuring peoples livelihoods and their families into the equation .
