Default The reason for "size and bag limits'..

On sea bass... These fish are fast becoming more valuable than lobster...
Not long ago here in NY state I saw one on ice at Wegmans in Ithaca[think of Super Shop Rite on steroids], It was a putrid looking thing- white eyes, all bleached out, looked old and rancid.. It MIGHT have been a pound and a half, maybe 15 inches if you stretched it...

It was $14.99...

These fish are going to market because thats where the big money is I guess.. We are getting squeezed, and sadly we might see the day these become off limits.....

I checked prices on several sites, and they are currently $9.00 a pound for WHOLE fish, with head, skin, gills, fins.. Fillets?.. Bring your first born...

I fear for the future of salt water recreational fishing,,, bob
