No offense dark but you better get ready for death threats. Thats what will happen when you threaten the livelihoods of these guys. I agree something needs to be done. Only a retard would say bass fishing is healthier than ever. Whether you like it or not the head boat industry is a powerful lobbying interest. Christie listens to them as well as the folks on the asmfc.
You hit on a good point that the fishery is managed for MSY. That is a flawed model and changes need to be made. Thats also precisely why they won't change it. Good luck but be careful. If you need me to sign something I will.
