I read recently ( in "On the Water"), That in Ma, the only legal commercial activity for bass is rod and reel fishing...anyone want to guess:

a) how many fish commerical rod and reelers are allowed to take?

b) how much a commerical rod and reel striped bass license costs?

c) In MA, since commerical SB is only a rod and reel activity, if a netter catches a striped bass by mistake, and it is dead from being drowned or killed in the haul, what does he do with the fish?

d) how many fish are wasted in MA alone?

e) what is the impact on the spawn next season?

There should be no waste and every fish should be given the shot to reproduce a time or two.
