Almost a million and a half pounds will go to another commercial state. $5+ million in sales off the boat. At least $12 million wholesale, out of Maryland and gone somewhere else, on Striped Bass alone..... A net ban would probably mean a loss of about 100 million in revenue to Maryland.
That much additional poundage cannot be caught by hook and line in Maryland because the hook and line yearly quota is not caught now.
