would not know about catching 40 schoolies since I only have targeted big fish with a flyrod

But U could probably compare it to a shore striper forever fisherman fishing from shore and bouncing an under sized striper off the rocks to get it back in the water....give it an aspiran

yes.. that was my point. Or the cocohoe minnow crowd at the west wall in the spring... I used to do it, so i am no angel.

Fishing is a tough sport to justify when we break down the ethics behind it.. Especially catch and release.

Exactly, I mean if we were all really THAT worried about the fish, we wouldn't be fishing at all.

One of the bigger issues might be if they want to spearfish bass commercially. That would set off a debate with Mass R&R comm guys for sure. Here in Rhody it has come up with various species.
