Mass. Commercial Bass is 40 fish at 34" till the limt of 1,141,517 pounds are caught.

I fish for Gas and tackle purposes and boat repairs. You are right no one is getting rich fishing just for the bass!! But if you add the $$ for the Bass, Fluke, Black sea bass, Scup and you have a pretty good income for the season!!
I got 40 fish aday 7 different times last year.

I was unemployed last summer and it was a great way for me to make money to fill my kids bellys!!

You guys are looking at one fish and thinking that, thats all any one is making monry at! But that is not the case!! You have to keep changing your fishing to make any money at it and it is long days, and hard work!!

I did not get rich, but I made $11,031 last summer and i will tell you when you are unemployed or even not it is a great way to make a few bucks!!

And I have not been out yet this year but I plan on it next week and I hope the price is better then .95 !!!
