EXACTLY but no one is listening. I have been preaching Gamefish status for 10 years. No one want to hear it. Every time I put it up here, on FB, write an article that gets published, I talk about FL and what they did with Tarpon and Snook. The typical response is "but there are no tarpon or Snook in VA, or MD, or DE". Well, so what???
If we gave the Stripers Game Fish Status all the Eastern Seaboard would benefit from a world class fishery in 5 or 10 years.
