Why are all you guys picking on this guy? It seems to me that he's a good fisherman and you guys are a bit jealous?! If he catches and keeps fish within' the confines of the law, leave him alone.
And just for reference, it does more damage to the striper stock to keep the shorts, (ones that HAVE'NT had a chance to spawn), than it is to keep the 50's, (ones that HAVE spawned many times already). I agree though that a 5# bass tastes alot better than a 50# would.
Can anyone get me the addresses to all the bait shops from RI to NJ? If I ever catch a 50#, or a 40# or 30#

, I'm gonna stop at EVERY shop on the way home!!!!!!!
Keep fishin' B!!!!!!!!!
