Why is a striped bass different than a migritory game bird like a duck or a goose? They are managed by the federal govt. Stripers should be managed by the federal govt and not at the mercy of states that are dominated by those who would kill each other over the last bass (not an original thought, It is a rehash of a paragraph in Dagnaults book eastern tides). Striped bass belong to all the people and should be a game fish. Or atleast there should be a slot limit. The commercials esp in Mass kill the fish with the best genes in terms of survival and egg production (30 fish is just not right)! Just like the deer hunter who allways goes for the big buck and ten years later wonders why their are no deer with nice racks. Knot head you took the best genes out of the population. I know this is a rambling poorly spelled post but I am enraged. I think the bass population is going the way of buffalo and we are to blame!
