The Decline in the numbers of bass is not to to the 20 some odd days of the Mass Commercial season. That entire biomass is taking a pounding from December through June. Ill say it agian, Many of you guys havent got a clue what goes on down south of you, You just complain when the fish dont show up in new England and blame it on 20 days of commercial season. There is no comparison whatsoever!
Would it be better if you had 60 days of commercial fishing with the same poundage limits? Let's not focus on the amount of days and instead focus on the amount and size of each catch

I agree that what happens down south needs to be rectified ( and I believe will be as more states come in line ) but don't use what happens elsewhere as an excuse to do it everywhere

As a rec if I catch and keep 1 - 6 fish a week I am not killing off generations of fish for years to come as there are still huge amounts of fish in that pack to still re-generate. As a commercial if you are sitting on top of a large school of fish and take them all out you are also wiping away generations of future fish from that pack. Perhaps then extending the commercial season to a larger amount of days....say 60 or so...but reduce the amount that can be taken daily, weekly, and monthly would go a long way towards not wiping out complete generations of fish
