You cant blame the lobsterman for being upset, We had this discussion at a recent RISAA meeting. In the years I have fished I would say 90% of the bass I have gutted all have either lobsters or crabs in there gut. However many fisherman mis-identify lobster at times especially if they are a little decomposed. Not alot but enough to take notice, what the bass acually have in there gut is Manta Shrimp and, they can be a dead ringer for lobster especially in the decomposed stage.

Mant shrimp live in the muddy bottom and bass will root for them with there chins and absolutly love to eat the things!

However I agree that the ecosystem is totally screwd up...bass cant eat whats not there
