Just so it is pointed out.... 3 Tons of striped bass on the commercial is only worth $15,000 on the commercial market. That is a whopping $2.50 per pound. What a wasteful use of a valuable resource.
What do you think 6000lbs of striped bass is worth in recreational fishing dollars?
Hopefully this adds fuel to the fire with the MSSA reallocation initiative.. I personally am hoping that a reallocation leads to hook and line only harvest.
