John-
You math sounds right. If it is selling for $8.99/lb at the fish market, then my guess is that it wholesales for ~$4.50/lb. The wholesaler is therefore paying the commercial fisherman who makes the catch $2.25/lb or less.
Even at that price, you can see why guys do it. If you've already bought all your gear like all of us, and are going fishing anyway, most of your costs are sunk except the license. Most of us with any sort of clue about striper fishing could clear the cost of the license with no problem at all.
What a waste, though. It's just not for me.
