More history on regulation meetings when the 2 fish at 28" decision was made. I was living in CT at the time. I made up a survey petition and left it in all the tackle shops from the CT river to The RI border. Got like 500 opinions and signatures from rec anglers. Like 5% wanted the change. At the meetings you know who wanted the change. Charter boat capts. Cap after cap got up there and said unless they had 2 fish at 28" they would not be in business. No offense intended to any Caps just saying that money changes everything and no one does the right thing till it is too late. Short term thinking rules.
