Debunking the 9% Striped Bass Mortality Myth

New York Fishing Podcast

Is the 9% mortality rate for striped bass caught by recreational fishermen really accurate? In this eye-opening episode of the New York Fishing Podcast, we challenge the outdated studies from the 90s that led to this number, and discuss the need to re-evaluate these figures in light of modern fishing practices and conservation efforts. Learn about a recent Massachusetts study that showed a much lower mortality rate when fish were caught and released using circle hooks, and join us as we advocate for the importance of recognizing the work done by recreational fishermen in preserving the striped bass population.
We also talk about the vital role fishing plays in conservation and urge our listeners to get involved in the movement. By staying informed and questioning the data that drives regulations, we can help ensure a healthier future for our beloved striped bass. So subscribe to the channel, listen in, and be part of making a difference for the fish we all love!
