Yeah, I agree with you. I wanted commerical striped bass fishing to stop. Well, I have to be blunt with you. I know a quite few stupid and dumb deaf anglers do SELDOMLY keep an under legal sized striper. I took less than 15 stripers last year because I just started. And most of them were small and released by me in Back River, Rockport (October 2002), and Onset Beach. I recalled there is a report in NY. A Shad commerical boat accidently commericalized 6,000 keeper-sized stripers on the Hudson River for mistaking them for shad with NET! And they bought them to the beach and boosted their catches. All I see was the stripers' eyes opened wide and mouths opened like Caulunky MacCloud kid from Home Alone movies. That's what a commerical fishing will affect stripers. In Japan, they harvested their fish well.
