ASMFC To Take Action to reduce Striped Bass mortality

[Mr. Sandman]

slot fishing is too complicated, both for fisherman and enforcement.

36" fish gives every fish a chance to reproduce more than once. Why anyone would want to take a juvenile fish is beyond comprehension.I guess the theory is ...Lets kill the babies and then we will have just big fish left...yeah but for how long?

I PREFER eating 28"-32" fish so it is what I choose to kill (1-2 a year). But I would without hesitation support a 36" limit.
