The salmon and trout fisheries of Lake O; the trout fisheries of all North America; the largest participatory fishery in the USA: the LMB fishery; and more recently the Florida snook fishery, completely recovered to trophy fish availability. NO LEGAL SALE. I do not care what you call NO LEGAL SALE-- call it "Stripers Forever"; call it "Gamefish Status"-- whatever. The ASMFC bureaucrats know full well that all they are doing is managing human greed which is inseparable from basic human nature. They care not for the species, its preservation, or its recovery.

Couldn’t agree more!!!!!
