Hi Don, the argument typically is a healthy stock can sustain a certain degree of harvest. Comm bass is going the way of the dodo - a nip Here and a cut there that will never come back. The thing that needs to be done is convincing the masses to save these fish on their own and for there own benefit. not relying on regulation. In order to bring the masses together I feel u need to not be “taking your fish away” and more let’s get the stock in good shape so that a modest harvest is doable. Ur never gonna convince the fringe of either side of the issue the sway much but the 90% of us in the middle should be able to get this done. I go to these charter boat meetings and it’s amazing how ass backwards they are about conservation in general. A few get it and most just see the impact on their bottom line. I don’t do much comm fishing anymore and preach releasing on my charters. Once you take the time and explain how many meals you can get out of 1 bass most folks see the light. Some don’t and I support their and my right to harvest in a responsible manner. its a lot like guns, I’m not a gun guy and I don’t think most people need a gun but I’m not prepared to tell u that u can’t have a gun
