Commercial bass anglers make up less than 10% (5%,2%?) of the striped bass fishing public.
Commercial bass quotas could be shifted to include bycatch from other fisheries.
Do we need to go on? We can all make arguments on why to exclude the other usergroup from allocation. Do we really want to do that? Or do we err on the side of caution regarding the fish? Or worse, while we'll arguing the minutia, some other organization comes in and stops almost all of it?
