- Gamefish status would take the $ off the fish's head.
- Make it much easier for enforcement to target black markets
- Will educate recs to the benefit of C&R and conservation
- Provide the public with at least some degree of confidence that the fishery managers are serious about conservation
- Together with a steep rec limit it will remove personal greed from fishing (this ..."I have to get mine now before those other guys take my fish" belief has to stop.)
- As for that guy he spoke to on the water who kept everything...it would force to him comply or face steep penalties. Rewards should be given to whistle blowers as well.
It disturbs me that you and other fishery folks don't see the benefits of gamefish status. All you have to do is look down south to see what has happened there. Why is this such a problem for you guys?
Let me ask you a question...How would game fish status hurt the SB population?
