first of all, commercial fisherman in mass have no say in the scup or the squid regs. the scup are regulated by the ASMFC, and the squid are regulated by NMFS. so if you have a beef about the regs in those two species, take it up with those agencies, don't dump on mass commercial fisherman.
as for the striped bass fishery, i agree with you in a sense that folks should have to prove they are making at least half their income off fishing in order to obtain a commercial license.
