No actually if it is a comm day and u get checked they don't ask what you intend to do with your fish, they just make sure they are of size and that you have not exceeded your limit. I do though really find it to be a stretch to think that a mlot of guys are bringing these fish home to eat, but if they did weigh and record them than what is the problem? Guys with fluke licenses do it all the time...Simply put this whole bill was started by SF and M Patrick as a power grab, they attacked an industry that is done with a rod and reel not a net for their own personal gain and in my opinion that is not the way to get any mgt of a fishery done.
Secondly there has been a lot of accusations about greedy fishermen...Whether we are talking about stripers or cod yu have to know that we fishermen can only what NMFS/ASMFC allows us to catch, so why would a fisherman not complain about restrictions? It does make him greedy it makes him a business man like any other business owner. We all complain about taxes and regulation changes in any business...NMFS is too blame for allowing the raping of most species not the fisherman himself.
