Well, according to you, you can catch any size any day of the month.
I was curious if there was empirical research behind your statement because the only information I've been able to find about the detriment of slots is mostly hearsay.
There is no denying that there are more 20" fish than there are 20lb fish and more than likely, more numbers of fish will be killed, but that is not the issue at hand.
The principle issue is whether this slot will eventually result in more average females breeding each year.
