Agree with the above but I do like the 40 inch minimum for adults. That 36-39.9 range ain't gonna do anything and the rare 40" fish weighing 30 pounds is just that rare other than in claims on the Internet. To sweeten the anxiety

how about making it so you can only weigh in two fish per calendar month. That'll add some sleepless nights
The point ratio for the shore fish is probably about accurate as it will get.
