Under game fish status everyone would be treated the same and have the same opportunity to take fish.
Plus, most as I noted are not asking for game fish status, they are just asking for an equal limit for all recreational fisherman of one fish, most haven't even commented on commercial fishing, just charters. People who go out on charters are nothing more then recreational fisherman and should be treated no different than other recreational fisherman be them shore bound or own their own boat.

I totally understand what you are saying but that eliminates commercial fishing or the ability of those who don't fish the chance to consume delicious striped bass .
Where we differ is how far the sky has fallen .
I think, and the science seems to agree , that there is enough bass to make it good for everyone including the fish .
