The Prof. and I had this Canal side talk...initiated by him incidentally as I slid my 29# er back in the water and he was doing likewise, with a close relative (and several others) which I photoed for him. So, all of this in jest and good humor.
However, the business is serious: The harvest and kill at present levels from all abuser groups is overboard excessive and the stress on this fishery is palpable. Individually, we must now take,harvest, and kill less than the regulations fish law presently legally allows. THEN, when it comes a time to act collectively, we can demand what we deserve: 95% of this accessible, public resource for 95% of the public who wants access to it!
I repeat, there is no room any more for a directed commerce and commercial fishing industry for this species. If any fishery deserves gamefish status, it is this one.
Act accordingly my fellow sleep deprived and marriage stressed partners.
