I just received my commercial license renewal in the mail yesterday. Given there's 3700 or so licenses issued at $ 65 each it amounts to roughly 240K in revenue for the state. I don't see them stopping commercial sale of bass for 2010 at this point given the impending winfall.I think if the gamefish bill gets passed it wouldn't be implemented until 2011 at least.

Just a thought from one of the 3600 or so "recrimercial" fisherman in Mass.
