You are still missing the point. Game fish status would not prevent a commercial fisherman from catching fish for personal use, they would have the same exact right as a recreational fisherman. No, they would not be allowed to sell them but what you accused the recreational fisherman on this site of who don't think charters should have a different limit is wanting them all for themselves which is not true. Under game fish status everyone would be treated the same and have the same opportunity to take fish.

Plus, most as I noted are not asking for game fish status, they are just asking for an equal limit for all recreational fisherman of one fish, most haven't even commented on commercial fishing, just charters. People who go out on charters are nothing more then recreational fisherman and should be treated no different than other recreational fisherman be them shore bound or own their own boat.
