Just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in.
If guys are doing that its not necessarily a commercial fishing issue, but an ethical one. Judging by a lot of your responses, you must have witnessed much of this first hand. I remember you making the same points during the contest and they are valid, no doubt. I'm not sure I would implicate everyone who holds a license under those auspices though. If what you are claiming is true, then the guys involved abused the system pretty badly, IMO. There's nothing that says a rec guy couldn't do the same thing though, only it would be a 14 fish per week cull instead of 95, provided both parties produced the maximum allowable take of fish. With either case,its wrong.
