Well I am one of them commercial guys that get his 30 or close to fish a day, and sometimes that is what you get, just leagle.

What is wrong with me getting 30, 34" fish and sell them to pay my bills and feed my family??

Don't you think it is better then watching the (Some not all) Recreational fisherman go out there with there light tackle and catch small and large alike bass and exhaust them to near death!!
Then stand there for 5 min taking pictures, then tossing the thing over board like a bag of trash!
What are the chances that fish will live?? 0%!!
Or all the gut hooked fish they rip the guts out of to save a .15 hook!! Will that fish live?? Nope not a chance!!
Last I new there are a whole lot more weekend worriers out there then the comm. guys and you X that buy the fish they kill and there are alot more fish wasted then there is caught and sold at market!!
The fish that is sold at market feeds my family and the familys of people that other wise would never get to eat a fish!

There is no perfect solution to the fishery!! But a Harvest keeps the stock healthy.

Try to go back 15 years ago and see how many fish were being caught!! The striped bass is healthy and strong!!

Throw your rod away!! Cause you have never killed or wasted a fish!! You think all fish that are released live?? Nope and I am sure your that you release don't all live eaither!!

Go join PETA while you are signing up for things!!
