ASMFC bases quota on the number of fish so that maximum catch possible without crashing the stock will occur. Problem is there are many factors they don't include in calculating quota, and even more that are affecting spawning success and recruitment of juveniles that they have no way to factor into their calculations. Why can't you guys leave more than the bare minimum spawning stock biomass swimming and spawning?

As opposed to one who earns his living as a full time commercial fisherman. 'Having fun' is justification for depleting a resource owned by all, not to mention eating up quota true commercials could use to support their families?
Wondering if you know how to spell Soaking Wet?
