bloocrab if your father hit you to punish you as a child does that make it okay for you to do the same? Look I know the point you are trying to make. But it is you that is not looking at this from any other viewpoint than your own needs/wants. The fishery is more important than any individuals desires/needs/wants
If the stock were strong and vital....like before the moratorium years then that is a different story. But there is a serious issue with the stock declining....for many reasons. And so we all should do our part to conserve and preserve before it is all gone or we get a moratorium again
More than likely your father lived through the moratorium years and survived without taking any stripers during that time. Do we really need to repeat our past mistakes?
