Striperman see bass that aren't as big/fat as they used to be. And on and on. Almost every bass that I've kept over the past few years has had nothing but crabs or lobster in their stomachs, most have nothing at all.
This is my view on it as well. Till the ecosystem overall is managed, it's never going to be balanced.
