wasn't this part of that study done for aqua culture for striped bass back a few years ago?Some good work but it still is a study done in a small area. Stripers spawn in a lot of places that people don't reseaech. Nova scotia and Maine being just 2 of them.Some of the down side problems are coast wide not just in the Ches-bay area.
As far as keeping a nice fish or throwing it back well the Charter industry,comercial rod n reel and netters do the bulk of the damage. Most sportfishermen don't catch squat anymore and have a limited effect as they mainly catch smaller fish.Work in a tackle shop and see how few large fish are brought in to be weighed. Not a whole heck of a lot anymore. Ron
