Bottom Line
I can understand commercials if fishing is the main source of income for the family. If you fish commercially to reduce the costs of boating or just do it to make money its not right. All I know that I fish like a bandit for a keeper and then let it go. You commercials if you had your way would destroy a beatuful wild creature to line your pockets. And dont give me the argument that you are entitled to your fair share as you have in the past. When our ancesors came to this country they fournd it to be a virgin wilderness with wild game for all. You cant just go into a national park and take as many as you want. We have reached a point where commercial fishing and hunting should not be legal. Market hunting for ducks has been banned for a great many years. It is not legal to sell trout and other game fish in any state that I know of. Bottom line if people want to eat striped bass they should be raised through aqua-culture not through the destruction of a wild symbol of our nation that brings pleasure to millions of Americans rather than making a bunch of people with other jobs rich. Yes I want you guys put of of bussiness before you destroy the resource.
