I know there are a few charters guys who actually advertise they sell their fish from their Boats not a bad business model .
Yet Kinda playing both side of the fence
And the system allows it so I don’t fault anyone with a com license
Also I think Ma should tell all commercial Bass permit holders that all future re issue of licensing will be based on your catch and selling history . Full stop and the should re issue Black Sea bass and other species licenses that have sold a fish over 5 years
Just a little morning rant. People who go on charters love the meat off a 36 in fish they feel they got some value beyond the day on the boat. A 28 in fish they may feel differently

Clarification: my previous comments were not thinking in context of the Mass rod and reel commercial fishery. I am 100% in line with that fishery needing to follow rec. regulations. Nobody (maybe not literally...) in that racket is out of work or going broke if that fishery is restricted. When I was referring to commercial fisheries I was thinking of a coastwide industry where the business or fisherman's livelihood comes primarily from fishing.
