Oh this is just great, KILL"EM now while ya got the chance folks.
Mr.Sandman is gonna blow a gasket.

Ben, it seems more like if you get one keeper from 26 - 40" then you can still keep on fishing and not worry about having to release a trophy fish of your dreams. Maybe their reasoning is to try to keep release mortality down, who knows.

If the request to allow fishing in the EEZ gets approved, then there will be problems as other states will want to jump on the bandwagon. I think this push is just the charter captains trying to get away from the crowds, I guess they are getting followed by the yahoos on weekends. Well quite a few of the charter guys already go to Stellawagon to get bass and they get away with it. The clients don't even know it's against the law.

I just hope there is more pogies this year for all these bass to grow.
