The link you provided says commerical harvest was 28% of the catch, and recreational harvest 71% of the catch. Nowhere near the 7:1 ratio claimed above, and indicates a grossly higher individual consumption of a public resource by each commerical fisherman than the original numbers suggested. I don't have any objection to the commerical utilization of Striped Bass, but at least those enriching themselves doing it should acknowledge they are getting one hell of a deal.
