For those interested...

As an aside, the original article appeared only in the New England edition of The Fisherman magazine. The response by Al Ristori appeared in all 4 regions that The Fisherman covers (in the Conservation Watch column). As a result, folks in the other regions did not have the full context in which to judge Mr. Ristori's comments.
They do now.
Sincerely,

PS
Since Stripers Forever has stopped replying to my emails for months now, if anyone from that organization wishes to pass along a text version of their response that appeared in The Fisherman, I'll be sure to include it at the above link. Otherwise, I'll scan it when I find time.
