Looking for a little discussion on what means can be taken by the non-commercial fisherman( fisherwoman<img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"> )to reduce the mortality rate of striped bass caught??? I am of the belief that both the recreational and commercial sectors can reduce the pressure on the bass. Let's get your opinions.

Obviuosly, crushing barbs and replacing the rear trebbles with single hooks on plugs. Circle hooks on bait... What other recommendations do you all have on getting the fish back in safer???

Thanks,

John
