Making Striped Bass a gamefish will not benefit the bass as well as fixing the diseases that plague them and improving the forage that feeds them. If we reduced the fish "take" by 25% (comm) we may have more disease and more hungry fish. If we transfer quota we're just being a little greedy. Not saying that managing bass isn't a big issues, it is, and lots could be done to improve. But the main issues we seem to always skip by, forage & disease
(Except if their radioactive from the Hudson...)
