You seem to amaze me. All you chatter about is the commercial end of it.
In the 60's it was the recreational [ sport or what ever you want to call yourself ] guy that caught and kept every 16" striper that they caught and caused the closing of the stripe bass fishery in the 70's
And if you listened to one individual you would think that he was a conservationest,but I recall in a past post under conservation he wanted to exterminate the Plover because one of his fishing spots was closed because of the nesting area.
