I think current regulations allow everyone to be able to have a chance to take home a "keeper". 28" isn't a big fish, but it is big to someone who rarely fishes, and has only caught fresh water bass or kibbies

Let's every goog with a push button Zebco and a sand worm kill fish!


2 fish over 28" a day seems reasonable. I remember when anyone could catch anything over 16" and no limits and was able to sell 100 pounds plus 1 fish without a commercial licence. Not many "novices" are going to get a 36" fish. Should they be excluded from taking a couple 28" fish? YES! Recreational fisherman who seldom fish, or poor people who hope to catch something for supper with a handline should be able to keep a couple 28" fish. For people who need to feed themselves, have a permit system to keep shorts. Ya need to do paperwork to get foodstamps.

If you want to catch and keep big fish, consistantly, get a commercial licence.

And gas was 50 cents a gallon. That was then, this is now! 1@33"
