there is a multiplier effect at work here too...the shore recs bump into smaller fish on average ..... the for-hires aren't throwing Zoom Flukes at schoolies...they are targeting larger fish.....those BI fish are in the middle of their life cycle and at their most productive years if I'm reading the literature correctly...each time a client takes two of those fish they're taking a considerable amount of eggs out of the equation and think about how many times this occurs throughout the season on each of these boats...cutting that in half would seem to me to be a very productive thing to do.....unlike the commercial folks, they have an option when a fish comes to the boat whether or not to keep it and I believe the tendency is to return to the dock with the largest fish...
