If both were banned from being used as bait how much impact would it have on striped bass harvest? I'm thinking pretty significant.

Dennis, the bait market is probably 0.005% of the strain on eels. People eat these things. And people are making a lot of money off of them as well. I doubt we will see any restrictions sadly.
