Price of striped bass on Cape Cod at fish house - $19 per pound ... 2 pounds for dinner $38 ... it is a lot ...
... but add up everything you buy for fishing including rod, reel, line, lures, leader material stuff, waders, boots, cleats, belt, belt gear, surf bag, surf top, hat, light, gloves, gas to get there, maybe a hotel, suv for fishing, rod rack, maybe a bike for fishing and other gear, plus food while fishing ... and that may not be so expensive ... as any fish you catch and bring home may be more per pound on the first trip than $19 per pound ...
.... include a boat and other stuff with that and forget about it ...
... BUT ... the experience of fishing and catching a fish in a beautiful setting on the ocean ... PRICELESS - all that other stuff doesn't matter one bit when you're out there and in the zone.

Wow and I thought it was all for fun,eating them was just the added bonus.
Funny I told my previous boss I fished to catch them and eat it (feed my family)to compensate of lack of income.
I should of got my com. License....
But if I did the fish God's would striked me dead.

Bass is mediocre at best. Many more tasty fishes in the sea. Buying unbled bass with the red meat still on it would be a real disappointment for that kind of money. Better to go out to a nice restaurant and get waited on.

As I return a "keeper", I smile at the irony of releasing a fish worth so much on the market; however, the pleasure of catching one is greater than eating one.

Agree - must bleed them ASAP. Even better when you're on a rock and let them swim around on a stringer - really pumps the blood out. |

Agreed that cod/haddock are better to eat any day of the week. Striper always tastes better when you catch it.

"rock salmon" is what its called in some European countries. I don't know what it retails for, but ex-vessel is usually somewhere between 10 and 20 cents a pound. |

Never heard that reference before 
the reason i said that striper's should be valued like caviar
was because of how the sturgeon was hunted to near extinction
because of it's roe and superior eggs..... and so i saw a parallel
as far as how well stripers taste, i think grain fed farmed swipers in circular enclosures
just off the shoreline down south would taste just as good as wild
or it would be hard to tell the difference. it certainly would take the pressure off and stock the great lakes while your at it. |

Yes and Chilean Sea Bass were toothfish. Once the mid water fish were all wiped out, the boats had to go deeo. Changed the names to make them more appealing. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
