Default Re: POSSIBLE changes to STRIPED BASS fishery

How about all the bigger fish that you catch and have to release trying to find that "slot" sized fish.
What do you think the mortality rate is going to be on these fish?
Not saying they will all die but a mouth full of trebels, hooks in the gills, swallowed hooks from live lining, and the fact that a good portion of these fish will be mis handled and out of the water for a while when unlocking.
Im sure most will not survive so in turn all we did was injured big pregnant fish.
