bobby- i was a commercial fisherman for years and i believe i was part of the problem in the 80's. and today i have a vested interest in the condition of this fishery. i don't need scientists or bioligists to tell me the state of this fishery- i have eyes and have been a fisherman for 50 yrs and i remember history. gamefish status is only part of the solution i would like to see. i would also like to see a coastwide standard limit of 1 fish at 36". i believe those two measures would go a long way to restoring the fishery- yes i believe it is in need of restoration.
