The MA Commercial Striped Bass season is a political sop to fund your recreation abusing a valuable public resource. So, go ahead and sell your fish at less than $3.00 a pound to the fish buyers and the Industry who are your pimps.
At market prices of $15-17/lb. in the fish markets, this Industry isn't doing anything utilitarian (defn: the greatest good for the greatest number) for the "common man".

I fail to see how we're pimps. If you don't like the price don't fish. I can't be bothered to buy the fish when I'm selling for less than $4.
I'm not going to kill myself for no money.
