Nope. The ASMFC technical committee says your numbers are bogus.
Go read it. Coastwide commercial take is higher than recreational take (which includes charter catch, likely the lion's share of the recreational catch). The prior private rec numbers that you are using are off by 70%.
Time for a new song, your old one belongs with the Who.
