Scenario: You’ve discovered a new and very effective method of taking large striped bass which requires you to add foreign/toxic substances into the natural bait you are using. Without adding them your secret bait will not work. Only problem is that these added substances can be very harmful, if not fatal, to bass, other fish, and wildlife that happen to eat your secret bait should it come off your hook or you happen to drop the bait overboard. Undersize bass or legal bass that you plan on releasing will also suffer or potentially perish if they've already ingested the bait. You’re now caught in a dilemma: do you continue to use this method to catch more bass than you ever have knowing that you might be causing collateral damage or by-kill to other wildlife, or do you give it up and go back to other less effective methods you’ve used in the past that produce less by-kill. What would you do?
