2 bass limit is fine, having a bonus fish is better.

WE are not destroying the bass stocks. That's a very enviro-friendly/elitist claim to say something like that. More bass are NOT caught or are put back alive and in good shape by boat fishermen, jetty fishermen, and surf fishermen alike than they kill in a given year. To think that rod&reel guys are decimating the bass population is ridiculous.

The major reason why the MAJOR decline of the late 70's and the early 80's had everything to do with commercial fishing; gill netters, hook/line comm's, etc.

I usually keep my mouth shut with stuff like this, but that comment regarding a 1 bass limit is ridiculous and its very limited regarding the scope of everything that is going on.
