I was out fishing for giants at the bb bouy with on the hook Dave Sloan, Larry Russo' capt Chuck Destefano and Sparky last Friday. We got there and the pair trawlers were scooping up herring from 300 feet down. What we witnessed was sickening hundreds and I mean hundreds of bass "not one under 25lbs some close to 50" just floating on top of the water upside down their bellies blown up like helium baloons. I asked chuck about this and he said he'd seen it much worse than that and it's been going on for a while.So much for conservation and bag limits on bass. It really is a damn shame so many bass wasted and left to have their eyes picked out by seagulls . pete
