Yup, proof that it is never really about common sense but only about political clout and stupidity. You watch, next year you and I will not be able to posses a single eel or herring but the commercial industry will barely have their quotas touched!
When the populations don't rebound the DMF will assume that it must be because the fishermen are poaching!!
ps I wonder what 5 thousand lbs of eels looks like
