His argument isn't based on the comm selling fish. It's based on how many fish a person may take out of the water. It's no different if it's a comm or rec angler. The point he is trying to make is that the sides are different.
Plus I think most people who keep their fish do eat them. So in the end it's all killing for food. It just happens that you can get some enjoyment from the fight. Don't even try to tell me that a hook&line comm doesn't enjoy the fight of striper. I doubt someone would get into that line of work without atleast enjoying fishing at some level or another. It's a tough enough business as is.
