I think that this will mitigate the commercial take to a degree as I am sure that last year there were many boats with 2 permit holders on board taking in 30 fish.

Yeah Paul you are suppose to only have 30 fish per vessel and has been like that, but no one checks. Can't leave it up to the fish truck guys to check as it is too hectic and some barely speak English. I know several that do that and that is just the tip of the iceberg for some of the cheating that goes on. Stinks if you play by the rules. Again this year the 15 fish I don't think they will be enforcing that too strictly. Probably be able to sell a few limits per boat and get away with it. Next year I hear it will be more enforced.
I think the facts that really blew my mind was that 67% of the permit holders never sold a fish last year.
