Plus, there are 1000 (maybe add a zero or two to the end of that) 12 lb fish for every 60 pound fish.

What I've been advocating for years is a slot limit. Let guys keep one or two 22-27" fish for the table, and one 40"+ for their egos or a tournament. You probably do more harm to the fishery by culling out 28-36" fish than by culling one or two schoolies a man per day, and the occasional cow.

And don't feel I'm being judgmental by saying "keep one for their egos". My ego is as big as anyone else's

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
