I don't know. Since New Jersey is the most crowded state in the U.S. and one one of the most densely-populated areas of the world, we definitely don't have an issue with bass being under-fished and overpopulated.
In my opinion, the harvest restrictions set by Fish & Wildlife are far too liberal to be sustainable and the only reason we have bass fishing in New Jersey public waters is because the majority of skilled bass fishermen are of good character and practice catch & release.
