I've never met Frank, and personally, I have nothing against the guy.

But, I think there's more to why he's so disliked down-Cape beyond the fact that he wrote about it.

And on the subject at hand, I don't think that Frank has fished commercially since the bass came back, so he can preach C&R nowadays with credibility in my book. My fishing partner has probably sold more bass than Frank did in his life, and fished commercially long after Frank stopped, and while he isn't total C&R, he never keeps a bass over 32" for the table now.
