If the price was taken off the striped bass head, you would see a catastrophic collapse of the striped bass fishing industry. Charter boats, guides, and even some marinas would fold. The black market is so black, that even some of the most respected people in the industry are poachers. I know because I have seen it first hand and it disgusted me to the point of hanging up the rods.
You will never see the price taken off the head of the striped bass because the corruption is so high up that the people who could make it happen would never hear the end of it from their friends with dirty hands and bulging wallets.
I have no hope for gamefish status or a slot.
