The "for hire" regs are in place to help charter captains maintain their livelihood. People hire these boats to catch a limit of fish, and some pay a premium to do it. People wouldn't hire those captains if reduced limits no longer justified the expenses associated. Keeping those guys in business is good for the fishing industry and the communities they're a part of.
