Absolutely agree. Everytime this comes up; post the rec landins, post the comm landings, and the impacts are clear, PLUS 8% and higher mortality from every jamoke in the spring and fall throwing treble hooked plugs to 15" fish. "Yeah! I caught and released 50 fish today"! 'Well, 5 of them probably died"
One thought, I grew up during the moratorium;
When someone who fished hard before during and after (like my former and sometimes current surf parter) think something else is up....
How many people who were fishing hard in the 70's think that now has a similar feel to then???
