I was so excited the evening 1@28" passed.... For about a 4 hours, until i realized the massive barn door the asmfc left open called "conservational equivalency".
I guess thats the way they were able to convince states to vote for 1 fish to make it look like they made a major change, while allowing states to option to continue the status quo under the guise of 25 percent reduction.
Or am i missing something still?
I guess i dont view 2 dead fish at 33" a reduction, regardless of which targeted year class it claims to protect... I thought protecting the entire bass population was the point, but it looks like they left the loophole for charters to keep slamming 2 big fish per person.
If im wrong, will someone smarter than me help me understand this?
