I for one would have no problem with those who check "DNF" on their catch reports for over 1 year being required to explain the circumstances prior to renewal.
Just curious guys...what would you say is the ratio or C&R bass fishermen to fisherman who put their 2 in the box whenever they can?

I will sell everything I catch if a legal market is open for them. As far as recreationally, I will keep maybe 1 a week, or a bleeder.
In the number of marinas I've been in, during the last 7 years, I've talked with a lot of fishermen. A large majority of which would consider a 30 # fish as a monster and 5 fish in a day as a awesome day. Good for them. These people always return to the docks with whatever stripers they catch. These are the anglers i would say make up the vast majority of the fishing community.
The guys and gals who participate on this site are not these anglers. I do not think what "we" do with fish is the norm.
If you have not read Amendment 6, asmfc, do so. You can find quite a bit of info at the asmfc site.
