What I was seeing was the 12 for the charter plus the 4 for the Captain and Crew. I discourage groups bring home there limit unless ther can convince me that they plan on eating all the fish. I'v never had a goup bring more than 5 fish in 3 years. I know the lobsterman think there too many fish around and most think the stocks are doing well. The fish down there are grouped in a mile long by 30' deep packs in a semi hibernation state. I saw most boats using gaffs on the fish... even the small ones. All the big fish would be dropping 800,000=2,000000 eggs in about 90 days. A little photo and release would not hurt...
