No one is crapping on you for catching your limits. Most of the guys here That are strictly recreational seem to be conservative. So why the complaints about recreational fishermen. Which outnumber commercial 125 to 1. Talk to headboat captains about sending some back. Talk to the netters in NC about dumping fish by the thousands. Talk to the MD guys that left Gill nets UN attended. And caused the demise of thousands a upon thousands of bass. But do not call me a pig. No one is crapping on how you make your money. I only ask you don't crap on the way I enjoy my hobby. Save it for guys that are pigs and call them out.

Met a young man yesterday who makes his living as a year round commercial fisherman. He owns a dragger and offshore lobster boat. Fishes for almost everything year round to earn his living. I asked him if he fished commercially for striped bass. He laughed, looked at me like I was nuts, and said that "zoo" has nothing to do with commercial fishing.
Seems that full time commercial fishermen consider "commercial" striped bass fishing with disdain. Nothing more than a bunch of recreational guys cashing in on their hobby.
Striped bass are already a "gamefish". It is only that some playing the game have influenced the rules to favor their preference's at the expense of others. The "commercial" label is a ruse to make it seem like an alternate user group, but at the end of the day almost all people selling striped bass are recreational fishermen, like Dave.
