Talking Re: POSSIBLE changes to STRIPED BASS fishery

One fish between 24-28. One fish over 28. That's what I hope for. Those 24's are delicious on the grill whole and stuffed with my secret ingredients.

Fished a charter a couple weeks back with a bunch of buddies. Friend X hooks a good fish, it's a 31lb female. The mate gaff's this fish right in the stomach and my buddy and I just felt horrible when we saw what came out of her belly. Let the big girls live. I have to say I did not think this way years ago but this fishery is very important to our future and future anglers. Let's hope that we can just stop all the gaffing and murdering of the big spawning females. It doesn't make sense to me to see pics of a bunch of 20-40lbers all over a bloody deck. They really don't taste that good when they're that big anyway! BRING BACK THE SLOT FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!

TIGHT LINEZ!!!!!!!!
