Hudson River Stripers

Watched part of the Hudson River special on PBS. Truly disgusting what GE has done. The former CEO for GE still claims that there isn't enough evidence to prove that PCB's are carcinogenic and harmful to living organisms. What?! That is too frightening.

From what the special was saying unless I misunderstood (I only watched a part of it) was that it is illegal to fish for stripers commercially in the Hudson because of PCB concerns. Wouldn't this mean that recreational anglers shouldn't keep stripers out of the Hudson as well? Also, since stripers are migratory, I would assume that it would be possible and somewhat likely that we catch some Hudson stock PCB contaminated stripers up here in New England. I guess the question is how concerned should we be about this?

Sometimes people just suck.
