well Pat this is a debate thats been going on since the 50's. You really think it's gonna go away just because its getting close to taking the price tag off the stripers for a while so they have a chance. Well don't see it happen. Funny thing is that a great many of us that are pushing for gamefish status now used to do commercial and saw the effect of our greed and decuded the fish was more important than the buck .Guys like Bob Pond who aren't with us anymore left a legacy with many of us to carry on. protect the fish not the fisherman so we'll always have it to fish for.
we protect the fish we end up protecting the fishermen too both sport an commercial. But it's okay as when the feds get fed up with our bickering they put a limit or a moritorium on the fish to do what we won't. Ron
