That's high class, expensive whiting chum these days, sir.
And you're absolutely right about 1 @ 36" if you really want to bring the levels back up.
My point is this - circle hooks have been proven to decrease mortality, therefore good in my book.
There are certainly bigger problems out there - total catch, black market, poachers, Mid-Water trawler by-catch, draggers culling in the Carolinas - but this is one step that is easy to implement without hitting any one group too hard, and without hitting anyone in the pocketbook. This is one step, and there should be more.
And anyone that doesn't think this will make any difference, didn't see the sh*t show that went on at P-town 3 seasons ago.
