Stripers Forever - as long as there is a legal market for these fish the illegal one will continue. Please ask all of your friends to join Stripers Forever free at www.stripersforever.org (http://www.stripersforever.org) and help us put a stop to this kind of thing. Brad Burns

On December 7, the North Carolina Marine Patrol charged Rodney Salter, 34, Ron Sparks, 35, and Bobby Martin, Jr., 47, of Carteret County with illegally harvesting striped bass near Drum Inlet. Fifteen striped bass were seized totaling 431 pounds. In addition, the Marine Patrol seized 400 yards of nine-inch gill net. Warrant Officer Mark Daniels and Officer Mitch Stone both worked this case.

Fifteen bass @ 431 pounds???? That's one hell of an average fish! Almost 30 pounds per fish!
