I'm in the process of reading "Striper Wars" by #^&#^&#^&#^& Russell. I have to tell you that this book really brings back the memories of the fight to save the striped bass when the stocks were low during the late 70s and 1980s. The author recaps many of the fisheries meetings that I attended during that time frame and recalls the names of all the "combatants". This book is very accurate right down to quotes of dialog during the meetings that took place from Maryland to Mass.

If you get a chance pick up a copy or borrow it from someone over the winter - find out how close we were to losing this fish because of greed.

There were a handfull of "conservationists" along the coast that deserve full credit for the striped bass comeback - they (and those that supported their cause) are why many of you are avid striper fishermen today - without them you might have been playing golf.

WELL DONE #^&#^&#^&#^& RUSSELL!
