If the bass population never collapsed in the past, then maybe you can stick to a "no way... never gonna happen" mentality... but it did, and it seems that some just refuse to accept the idea that bass are in any trouble at all.

Nailed it. Just like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
1 @ 32 for all and 25% commercial. Note that 25% commercial does not have the same impact in every state, as in NY for example, it actually results in an increase over 2013 catch. I believe it's near 10%. Let's worry about the fish.
