There needs to be a system that allows for by-catch estimates to be used so that by-catch can be kept in the EEZ. By design the limits must be very strict and based on how many bass are being killed anyway. There should not be an increase in the commercial quota and the regulations should aim to limit or prevent targeting of bass in the eez. I think we are shooting ourselves in the foot when we allow bass to be tossed dead into the ocean. Count them and make em count toward the overall commercial take.
