I commend Brad Burn’s enthusiasm and drive, however videos like this drive a stake between comm. and rec. fishermen when we really need to begin working together. NOAA’s catch share program is a far more threatening nemesis to the striped bass fishery than any commercial enterprise.

Please educate yourself about catch shares so we can move past the rec./comm. debate and save our right to fish period. Pick up an issue of the Big Game Fishing Journal or Google catch shares if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
