It was back in the early 2000s that I became familiar with the term "maximum sustainable yield" and it was the mandate that the ASMFC had to follow, and then and there I saw the end of the bass fishery in my lifetime. I interpreted it as managing the fishery on the brink of collapse.
Frankly, I'm surprised that it has taken this long. I saw evidence of a decline starting in 2009.
