Soounds like Numbie's back on the soapbox again......................
I will hopefully kill 4 BIG GURLS this year and have a shot at the Tundra as well as help Team S-B to repeat. Not gonna change my participation in The Striper Cup based on one study and its opinion.
would ya have us believe that everyone else is wrong,
and only THIS guy is right because he supports yer own agenda?
Fish die of old age and anglers,
boat comm's. kill fish for profit,
surfcaster's kill feesh for recreation,
sum for the table, AND some for sum tourney's.
so long as it's within the FM's numbers and guidelines
who gives a flippp? They are FOOD, numbie! Why do ya think God made them taste soooo goooooood, and made them so fuuun to catch? i release 97% of all the stripers i land, anywho! and i LOVE our beloved prey, PREY being the operative word.
We are the dominant species! I kill Stripers to eat, also!
And even IF i am blessed enough to land the next 80#'er and proceed to Parade her around like the TROPHY that she would BE, does the cat from Scripps have any specific numbers on how many 80#+ yearmates happen to be swimming with the current AC Stock of migrators that grace our shores each year? The two studies seem mutually exclusive to me, mang! What do the fine scientists at Wood's Hole have to say?

MMMMMMMMMMM, STRRRRRIIIIIIPERRRRRRRRRRR
