I agree. I think a slot is the answer.





Regardless of legality, if you honestly care about striped bass and their future..that picture has to hurt to see. I went out to Chatham once with a "commercial" buddy just to see what the buzz was about. I still feel very guilty about it. Greed makes people do crazy things and the chatham circus is strong proof of that.
