I was codfishing 20nm east of Chatham yesterday. Wanna talk dead wasted bass. Saw plenty of nice bass bycatch floaters from the draggers working in 275ft of water. No one likes seeing that and is 100 times "wrong" than a party boat issue.

I agree. There should be no such thing as edible by-catch. IMO any edible catch (by-catch or otherwise) should go to market and come off the comm quota. I know that R&R comm bass guys will cry because the by catch will take all their quota but put it in the hand of the comm fisherman and let them duke it out.
How is it we can dump them dead? Who OK's this activity? |

The current rules force the fishermen to dump them over the side. |

No Bobber, no pics taken. Videos of the same thing have been posted in the past. It is an already well known problem. |
