Sorry wasn't trying to leave you out buddy. I think alot of people are starting to feel the same way, we all know that the Stripers are coming back, but they are still in alot of trouble. I for one would rather let them go to be caught another day, than bring one home.
Don't get me wrong, I too kept a couple bass last year. I kept that 36 1/2 lber and she will be placed on my wall, because for me it was I thrill I have never experienced, and I can look at that fish and remember that day forever, as I may never catch one that big again, or for many years for that matter.
It is unlikely that we will ever see those hey day fish again. If you think about it, there are many more recreational fishermen that in days past, and as for commercial fishermen, there gear and equipment has changed 10 fold, to be more productive. Don't get me wrong not knocking commercial guys, I respect the fact that they are trying to make a living. Just wish we could really work together to preserve this great species of fish and many other ones that are in trouble. Sorry ranting!!!!!
