Having a group of conservation minded charter boats is a good thing. Push back on the greedy ones.

Keep in mind that some fish that are released will eventually die. Can't always tell by looking at it. This by-product likely doesn't have a big impact on what we're seeing, but catch and release doesn't have a 0% mortality rate.
What does have a 0% mortality rate is something I routinely partake in, which is getting skunked.
