• In Massachusetts in 2014, 74% of total Striped Bass caught were caught by recreational fisherman (70% of total Blue fish were caught by recreational fisherman
• In Massachusetts there was an estimated 2,041,244 individual striped bass caught in 2014 by recreational fisherman (I believe he said there was a +/- 9% margin of error either way so the range is 1.8M-2.4M)
• In all the New England states combined (including Massachusetts) there were an estimated 3,072,705 individual striped bass caught in 2014 by recreational fisherman
I call BS on ALL the above numbers, percentages, and margins of error. Those are guesses, as good as yours or mine.
