I'll support the commercial fishermen who catch by rod and reel, but I can't condone the indiscriminent method of netting, as shown here in the slideshow, as well as in the stories and videos from the Carolinas last year. No way to cull out the shorter fish in order to meet a minimum length, as required by comm. rod and reel regs here. Those pics piss me off. Until they are forced to change their methods, they'll get no sympathy from me.
