I was watching a video of a couple guys fishing off the cape this summer with eels. They were doubled up for the whole video, the deck was loaded with 20-30 lb bass, it made me sick.

It is obvious there is a problem with the stocks right now. Eliminate the commercial sector. If these guys were not doing it 6-8 years ago like the video states its not like they are going to starve if they have to give it up again.

Make it a game fish with a 1 fish limit and see what happens. Something needs to give and it makes sense to eliminate the commercial sector and make them a game fish. It helps a fish that is WAY more important recreationally then commercially.

Everything is better on the rocks.
