now!...what would happen if the same was for rec's..you now have a lisc....every fish you catch an keep must go in your tally book and sent in every three weeks... ok folks only 500 lbs total left to keep for the season....season over..rec;s went over the quota by 13,000 lbs..that comes off next years take....so for the rest of the year it's catch an throw back.
FAIR?...I think so....both sides are now even.The fish get a break from everyone.

ohhhh, this is good
spring and fall runs are catch/release only since those arn't "your" resident fish. u can only keep fish from july 10 till august 25 or until the recreational quota of 10 million lbs is reached. most of these will go tto the charter boats where the rich people can afford 6-800 per trip (about 100$/fish)
oh yea, u rented a house on the cape for the end of august. u save the money all year. your family has been doing this for 40 years. grandfather ,father and now u. u grew up on the beach catching and saving a bass for the big cookout at the end of the week. everyone, including your kids love the tradition. its all they talk about all year.
this year your 8 yr old daughter caught her first keeper, a 30 inch fish. the "season" ended yesterday and in spite of all the tears there will be no bass cookout and no dead fish pics of your daughters first keepa bass (u forgot the camera).
have a nice day
