It seems the only evidence that a slot kills more fish in the long run than will be replaced is anecdotal evidence.

There are WAAAY More 20-26 inch fish, they are Always hungry, and they eat anything. They are in all the rivers, bays, ocean and are Easily accesiblle to anyone. And they eat nearly anything you throw at em...I saw the damage done down here in the springs and falls with the slots. Wiped out resident fish...It takes a few years to see the effects... Your gonna tell me its theres more 20, 30,40, 50 or 60lb class fish around and they are easier to catch??? Comon' I can catch those slots any day, any month.. I can catch now if I wanted to in NJ!
