this once again proves it's all about the money, not the fish, how on earth do they have any idea on the amounts of fish the Recreational sector harvest or kills, they don't, not with out accurate creel surveys, catch reports and law enforcement actually checking anglers-
I've been bringing this up ( to deaf ears) since the '80s( when I still sold fish too) that managing small fish is an uncertain practice, many things can happen in their lives along their journey to adult hood, but large fish are a known commodity, yet those fish are targeted - when for the love of all things Striper, THEY are the ones we should be protecting - not targeting.
Fish - any fish or other wild "creature" are a PUBLIC resource they should be managed as such -
