. So 11 fish at the end of their life were taken. God forbid we concern ourselves with the thousands of good eating fish taken every weekend. Just because its a fifty guys get their pants in a ruffle.

End of their life only because they were caught. End of their life in the same way a 53 year old guy on this board is at the end of their life. Natural life expectancy for a striped bass is 30 years. 52" and 53" fish are approximately 19 years old. They have almost 40% of their life expectancy remaining. They are rare because ~half the bass in the legal age classes are removed each year. Kill less catch more. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

How many 53 year old women are in the Prime of their Reproductive life? |

There is no evidence of a decrease in fecundity in 20 year old class striped bass relative to smaller fish. They still produce millions more viable eggs than smaller fish. 200 years go, a human woman would rarely outlive fertility. Human women release one egg at a time. A 53" fish released could produce tens of millions of viable eggs over the remainder of its life. The science is clear. There are a lot of reasons put out there for killing bigger fish, but they are pretty much never supported by science.
