I fillet and release. How many copies did PETA buy? Their a fish and are not sacred.......
Caught review Stripersforever
This is a good endorsement for "Caught". The MD who wrote it confirms my belief and others that the fate of the bass lies in the Chesapeake...
PS.... I self published this book...... ran into a lot of problems.... with editing and editors...release date..ect.. the five of you that actually bought it, I apologize for the typos. I can give you your money back or send you a new copy... there is a final clean version coming up (next week)...that has not been tampered with by commercial fishing interests lobbies...
http://www.stripersforever.org/?p=953
I think when it comes to striped bass not getting wiped out---- AGAIN!! There is no gray area: there ars smoking guns.. when there is a dollar on the head of a striper they will get wiped out..history has proven this.. nets must be kept off these sacred fish and there needs to be more enforcement.
Take Licenses and boats away from repeat offenders.
CHARTER BAOT CAPTIANS SHOULD END THEIR LOVE AFFIARS WITH REPEAT OFFENDERS. AND GIVE UP ON THE OLD "WE CAN ALL GET ALONG" notion. We let wall street do what they wanted in 08 and they almost ruined this country.....jeff nichols

Wow your so funny along with the rest of the idiots that wear
That shirt.
That shirt.
Flounder are in alot of trouble. Bluefish are dumped at the docks everyday. Stripers are a fish that tastes great. To bad they are not like tarpon and people will them all go. They are not sacred. I agree Smokey the Jets do stink. 
Desperately plugging the book and the bass hugger's desire to have all the bass to themselves. Pitiful
more like future generations having a shot at them as well as as an entire industry built around it much like the hillbilly's and the Large Mouth Bass.

Do actually believe more Bass are killed by nets than rod n reel? That would be a sad testament. Do you also believe more bass make it into restaurants by net then by rod n reel? THAT would be Ludacris. More people then you think sell their catch to "pay for fuel" Take away 2 a day on for hire boats, take away the stupid "over 40" second fish and you could solve half your perceived problem . And by the way calling them "a sacred" fish takes away most, if not all of your credibility. They are just a fish, manage them across the board, punish all violators. Most Noreast readers are too smart to take sides. Most high end restaurants in Manhattan would not share your views by the way............Sacred---wtf is this world coming to?

How many bass die from sand in gills?
Striped Bass often feed in white water that has sand suspend in it, are you saying they die from this ?
I don't think so Willy, he probably is alluding to the numerous (thousands?) of bass dragged onto the beach before being released , there have been a lot of photos posted on this site of bass that have been rolling in the sand before being released.How many of these poorly handled fish survive? If I misunderstood Sargent Slaughter's post, I'm sure he will correct it.
Sand is sand either in the water or on the beach.

Sand suspended in the water is harmless [fish can leave an area when it's not to their liking] dragging a fish on his side scouring the body slime away is quite different. Loss of slime can lead to infection and eventual death. To say that "sand is sand" shows a lack of knowledge.
another gem from willey
sand is sand
sand suspended in rapidly moving turbulent water passing over a charging basses Gills is certainly not the same as rolling and pulling a bass through sand on the beach.
and sand is not really always sand
SiO = sand
SiO2 = sand
Ce,La,Nd,Th)PO4 = sand
but more on point while the local sand on the beach is the same as that suspended in the water in the surf chemically , it effects are not the same.
1st off one occurs naturally ,bass feeding in sand laden water ( nature has accounted for this)
2 dragging a fish up the beach scrapping its protective layer off and packing its gills with sand and then fingers is absolutely unnatural.
So to refute your very comical statement
sand is not always the same and doesn't always have the same effect on the sacred COW

The original post said nothing about removing slime from fish , it stated sand in the gills.
You should reread what was said as it is you who does not understand what was said.

oh now I understand
because someone s post doesn't say it it doesn't happen.
so your saying that dragging a fish up the beach doesn't remove the slime?
really that's the point your going to try and make.
your still trying to say that the sand introduced naturally during feeding is comparable to the sand introduced to the gills while being dragged up the beach.
Really
That's a stretch even for you.

How many bass have you caught from the beach ?
Almost all come in head first with their gills closed.
You cannot move a large fish on the sand without the help of a wave, using a rod and reel.
When releasing most stand at the waters edge or in the water.

BTW - I bet 1000% more bass are killed by rod and reel than by nets every year. Of course we can never prove any of this. But the recreational landings themselves far surpass the commercial every year. This recorded data alone, you know, the data they use to set the quotas? Proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Should just make it illegal to target them for sport. Thats kind of mean anyway. If there were no sport fishery , then we would have all the bass you could ever want. See how stupid one sided arguments can be? The are a resource, not a sacred cow. People caught them to eat way before they caught them for fun.
