of course it matters every bit matters.
The fish should be given game fish status period.
Taking that status away is a giant step backwards.
I'll tell you why it matters because it starts off as being 24,000 lbs then more and more, ane more and mass or ri give up portions of their qoutas etc etc playing a shell game with qoutas.. like when jersey goes over for fluke who gets the short end up the stick in reduced qoutas or totally f-ed up limits where fish are actually dying before they're legal to take...
I call BS.
CT should sink this.
