So all you guys hammering the stripers day in and out are the cause for the slower striper seasons as of late.
This is pure fact. You can't blame the commercial fishery on this at all.
Fish over 45lbs eggs start to lose viability. By the time a striper is pushing 50lbs their eggs in most, are not viable.
So throwing back 50lb fish really does nothing.

So I guess when you run across 100`s of bass floating dead in the ocean, which are the result of being the by catch from the commercial bunker boats that has nothing at all to do with with the down turn. There are many reasons for the decline and angler greed is just one of them.
How does anyone state something as pure fact, when they don`t even know that there was a slot fish???
