IMO .&& I,m not 100% sure , But the reason behind this By DEM is so the commercials can fish on Friday & Saturday but if they keep a bass of 34" the must clip it ......... the reasoning ....... they take a chance of having market size fish on the two off days / if its clipped its Ok .if not a nickel/dime offense .
I, d have to look up the regulations , but I ,m not sure that rec have to clip on Sunday Thrusday .
What about the so-called sport fisherman that are catching market size bass & clipping the pictoral fin & then releasing it . their reasoning that if caught again /no matter when it can,t be sold ...............But is if OK to cut the pictoral fin off any fish & think its going to swim in that condition .
there is good & bad in all ......But it seems most post are focused on the negative actions of the commercials .
I,m not even going to start on the illegal activity of the so-called REC Fisherman ><><
If I wrote a book on both . the rec would be ten times larger than the commercial.that could be that there are 998% more rec .s .......................HONESTLY >> Who do you really thinK is hurting the fisheries the most ><><
