Plus now you will be looking at a 7 7 split on states that do or don't allow commercial fishing. It is highly likely that the Mass quota will not be given to another state. I think what you will actually be seeing is the end of commercial fishing for stripers if Mass ends it because I think NY would soon fall in line.
