it amazes me that the reduction industry can make that statement saying the bass are eating all of the bunker with a straight face...there has never been a more absurd theory
...if that was the case then we should all be catching fat, healthy 50 lbers instead of the skinny 42 inch 25lbers that we are currently seeing...
schoolie monster nailed it by comparing this type of denial with the tobacco industry execs that got up before congress and said that nicotine was not addictive...
talk about a poker face!
the saddest thing is that on the one hand the reduction industry reps say that the population is healthy, but then they say there is a problem with recruitment of young fish...if you're looking for the young fish, check your nets!! If the population is so healthy, then why were the 2000 landings the lowest in the 60 years that records have been kept?
