Del. Howard E. Copeland, D-Norfolk, shows off part of his reward

after a day of striper fishing along the Chesapeake Bay

Bridge-Tunnel. Copeland, chairman of the House Committee on the

Chesapeake and Its Tributaries, caught two stripers and a big

bluefish. He was one of several legislators treated to a day of

fishing by the Atlantic Coast Conservation Association, a group of

recreational fishermen.
