while i agree that we should be scaled down to

1 @ 36", have a tagging/stamp system for any fish over 50#'s, and MoSaxxy should be a gamefish~~~ the aforementioned article was not ALARMING to me at all.

isn't the Chesapeake the smallest of the three breeding estuaries?
what are the 2008 YOY numbers for OBX and The Hudson?

also, the article doesn't say:
there's too many meat tournies going on, the boat guys are killing
the species, and the STOCK ###'s are dangerously LOW.

on the contrary, the fine scientists of MD stated that the ASBass stocks are healthy, that this was an off year due to weather/environment related effects, that dips in reproduction levels are part of the norm/mean, and that their same survey discovered "bumper crop" YOY numbers in '03 and '01!!!

noteworthy, to be sure! yet, the comm's will always win,,,,,,,,,,
WE have no lobbyists; therefore, NO VOICE and even less leverage. the chances of us seeing gamefish status for our beloved prey~ in this LIFEtime ~are on par witha snowball's chance in Ecuador!!!
