I spoke to guy who mates on a party boat in eastern CT- he said that people leave fish behind on every trip.... they catch (and kill) everything they can, mostly because its the "expectation" that everybody goes home with a lotta fish (even if they don't really want it).

if they were allowed to keep one fish instead of two- most of them would still go. they are there for the "occasion" or the "experience" and will still attend the stag or the retirement party (er whatever)
