A recent video released by Simms (about the striped bass decline up north) had a very clear smoking gun... the recreational angler.

It was one of the first times most of the fingers were pointed at us recreational anglers (instead of commercial fishermen, pollution, etc).

It created an internal debate here at Salt Strong about what would actually happen if we all agreed to release every fish for a year?

I'm not convinced that is the answer but my guess is the answer lies somewhere in the middle of two extremes.

Listen in to find out more and please leave us your candid thoughts on this topic. It's definitely a discussion (and NOT a sermon or lecture).
