I totally agree, but is redfish as sought after as the striped bass in the culinary world? as we all know, if the demand is there commerically, it will never end
more so...

Do you guys realize that one (and only 0ne) of the reasons that these big fish are around is due to the Moritorium that some of us lived thru in the 80s?
No Bass keepers. 1, 36 inches, 1, 34 inches, 1 29 inches, 1, 28 inches and then this stupid 2, 28. Who the hell needs to kill 28" fish and who the hell needs 2, 28s.
Let's get a push to make it 1, 36 and end it at that. You will never get a total catch and release. Make the Striped bass a Game fish so there is no commercial market, legal or black for the fish.
well in that case we have a lot of work to do to get this fishery to that point
I am for increased regulation, though I don't really buy that we are in a heavy decline, as I understand it, before the moratorium only big fish were around, I gots plenty of schoolies up around me. Schoolies are more the norm around here guys, maybe not in RI, but we have a lot of fish in the 18-30 inch range
