Nothing surprising about bait sellers objecting, but folks who bemoan invasive fish in Winnipesaukee might consider that maybe the ban on importing fish is a good idea. We do not know what the next invasive species will be

All bait fish supplied from out of state already goes through a certification process to ensure there are no invasive species. We are talking smelt, shiners, suckers, etc, etc.
You are wrong in assuming only bait fish sellers are objecting as there is not fishermen / sportsmen that I know who does not object to this bill.
