Numbers are down. Anybody that keeps a log, or puts in about the same amount of time, in the same places, year after year can testify. I think "we" are the best indicator of what is going on. I think "we" are the people that need to pledge to release more fish. I know I have. This is where it starts. Forums like this that reach the masses. Maybe it's the pain meds talking, but how about an "I will" for all who agree to stop keeping as many fish. Let's face it. Striped bass are our passion. Otherwise we wouldn't be participants in a great site like this. If the trend continues, there won't be a need for a site like this. Therefor, I'll start. I will.
