you get to catch 350,000 bass
divide that by 10000 boats ( which is way low when you add the coastal states)
that means each boat can catch just 35 bass for the season.
I catch that on 1 good night, what about the other 3 months of fishing I do for bass.
while big numbers look like alot of fish , it really isnt when you have the pressure these fish recieve

Where did you get your stats? Plus, your discussion is leaned towards a charter boat, and ignoring the head boat industry that doesn't harvest the big fish. They are totally different, neither will benefit from the law, but the charter industry will suffer less. So, now we know how you stand.
