BF,

The answer to your question depends on verbage and definition. true "gamefish" status is "no-take" period. One hundred per cent catch & release. As has been noted, there are other ways some states have written laws, as has been mentioned in the FLA Snook comments.

The isssues like allocation, public access, aqua farming, tradition & historical use, social value, commercial value and recreational value all come into play in this question.
