You're correct Mike - but determining origin of the bass was not possible so all bass were banned from RI sale. There was much controversy in the testing for PCBs. Some states tested fillets only, some states tested other parts of the bass. At the time most bass were being shipped to California markets through Fulton. I was fishing Block heavily back then. Lots of surfcasting pin hookers were there at the time. During the ban word was the pin hookers were shipping bass to NY on consignment through Handrigan Seafood. There were also some rumors on Block about guys that would fillet bass and send the fillets into NY by air.
