If there's any rhetoric here it's that responsibility as a rec is to keep what you can eat...rather than keeping fish simply because you want to impress somebody else or perhaps your self. And that the commercial harvest isn't sustainable under most circumstances.

For another fisherman to play the "all fishing is killing" card a on a fishing website is patently hypocritical...it shows you're just trying to provoke somebody with a hell of a lot more fishing wisdom than you in an otherwise serious thread...perhaps it's just placing a spotlight on your lack of maturity.

As someone who appears to regard themselves as a "conservative" I would have wagered you'd place more value in the tried and true experience of those before them.

I think it is more that you have some guys that know what is happening and don't want to see it go down that way... again.

what's the matter...bored Spence?


I'm hardly an "all fishing is killing type"...I love grilled bass....to fish all season long and claim you didn't personally kill any stripers hardly exhibits fishing wisdom, posting pictures of big dead stripers on one thread and then whining on and on on another thread about the decline of the stripers is....... well.....and then blaming it on the little kids??? and your take on this definitely demonstrates your own lack of maturity....love you too

Found this interesting, it seems " legitimately "
out of 3997 bass permits,
70% claimed zero pounds reported.
96% claimed less than 2000 pounds reported.
154 permits took 56% of the fish.

After paying the help and other expenses, not a lot of people making some real coin here.

Wonder how many pounds went through the back door of a restaurant though.
