There will still be a 12 to 15% mortality with C&R but the species will recover.
The slot, shortened season, EEZ, etc does nothing. The "grey" market guys still kill whatever they want because there are dollars attached. Close it down with no keeping. then they will have nowhere to sell. There will still be abuse but not at the level we live with now.
