striped bass forever, again
I listend to the words of the gentleman at the SBF booth at the risaa show this weekend. I am really "on-the-fence" in regard to game fish status. I was asked "how was last season for me bass fishing?". I honestly replied it had been the best ever, by far. He asked "how many small fish did you catch?". I caught none. Not one fish under legal limit, not one fish close to legal. He said there in lies the problem! All big breeders being taken , less shorts to grow-up, and in the end, a difficault rebuild (again) because of the lack of juveniles. Right or wrong I do not know. I know I have and use my commercial MA license a few times a year, I wouldn't miss it if I did not, could not renew it. I do take fish for consumption, and still would be able to under game fish status. What do you folks think?
