Excellent! I think we need this mostly to stop the mid-atlantic states' slaughter. Bryan & I've been saying since last year that something's wrong with the stock.
See - all you Bush bashers can finally give him some credit.
However - as Bryan said we do need to go back to the 36"/1 fish limit as well. Recreational fishermen need to share in the conservation effort.
I,ve been saying for the last few years that the stock is in trouble >>>>>>>>>> just stopping commercial fishing is not the answer / in the total take / the largest percentage of fish caught /taken >.out by rec.
I,d love to see a no size/ no keep status / that way /basically catch & release & that would knock a ton of pressure off the bass / never mind us ;;;
make it simple // no keep >>>>>>>> soooooooo if charlie S/h gets caught with a bass >>>>>>> he has no defense ;;;;
unfortuneitly /they will find a way to f$%^&*( this up //
For some this has been a great exceptional year // but in all total >>> it is much less than last & last was less than the year before ;;;
