How about taking a couple of fish(any species) once in a while when you will eat them, otherwize enjoy the expereience and leave some for everyone else.
You have no right to pass judgement if you were not there and had experienced the times and places. 36" is relatively recent history which automactically brands you as a newcomer to this sport. Times have changed and we all, (all those who were there and part of it) are different people now with new attitudes. So in other words shut up and listen and learn. Being that your monicker implies the state of Mine and the fanatiscism of "conservation" of your relatively small part of the big picture. Maine's striped bass fishery is marginal and of little consequence when seen on the grand scale, a mostly river fishery indulged in by those new to the sport or corrupted by bad information and junk science and blinded to the real struggles that stripers really face, menaing predation by marine mammals and lack of significant large forage species upon which an adult stripers success depends if she is to reach the potenetial for growth, health and fecundity.

Go back to class my dear first grader, you have a lot to learn.

Why even try.........
