thanks for the update, mike. i dont think people really understand that huge battle that exists over this fishery. many of us see menhaden as a great bait to liveline or chunk for bass and blues. others know how vital this fish is for the ecosystem in rivers, sounds, and estuaries. but, it plays a huge role in the commercial sector too. this fish is used in proteins, dog food, cosmetics, and who knows how much more. this is one war rfa and risaa are fighting (with all of us i hope) for the future of this fishery, our waters, and our gamefish. i may have to go buy that book too.
