your welcome

Pretty cool, some capts in there said striped bass fishing was not good for 10 years. That's tough to imagine, and it did really happen. Thanks for posting.

The way things used to be, thanks.

I like how they said that if it were not for the cooperation of saltwater striper fishermen, because they don't want to see it happen again. I wonder if we could ever get that level of cooperation in this decade?

[basshunter]

Probably not, from what I understand a lot of people got hurt economically when the stripers weren't here so they were motivated to work for conservation. Nowadays its every man for himself, did you ever see how it is on the jetties in the spring? Combat fishing.

Hookset, back then times were different. Folks rallied together and fishermen in clubs were good at even getting people outside the clubs to get involved. In today's society folks are more self centered. I feel a comparison is unfair because of the way we live our lives now.

Interesting about finding and categorizing the age of the bass. Thanks finchaser.

[storminsteve]

Yeah, thought that too. Telling how old a fish is from the scales, like the bark of a tree.

Amen to that basshunter, its like every big spring bass has a $100,000 tag attached to its head. People go nuts out on the jetties. Cool video finchaser, thanks for posting.

Wow I couldn't imagine striped bass being shut down,. thank you for sharing that.

[clamchucker]

Plugaholic, there is a saying, those who do not remember the mistakes of the past are destined to repeat them. That certainly applies here. Learn from this video.

[porgy75]

Yes thanks for posting guys.
