Patrick and Kenny,

I challenge you to read last winter's striped bass technical report...attachment 4, (page 10 is the summary). Here is the link http://striped-bass.com/striper-fish...SBtcReport.pdf

It shows that the ASMFC technical committee believes that recreational catch numbers are actually OVER-ESTIMATED by 50-75%.

The ASMFC (after having NOAA review the issue) has decided not to change their estimate.......but at very least both of you should be aware that there is strong reason to believe the recreational catch is actually smaller than the commercial catch.

So will you read it?
