I think there is a very distinct difference between fishing legally and fishing responsibly. So what if you're following the law, that doesn't necessarily make what you're doing right. Cowhunter is obviously very proficient at catching large. I think with that comes more responsibility. Pounding away at big fish throughout the whole year can't be good for the fishery. It's just common sense. If you keep removing big fish from the ocean, eventually there won't be any big fish to remove. How many people have been saying that the past few years are showing the same trends as the years leading up to the last crash? These warning signs seem to fall on deaf ears though. The type of mentality that exists up here would never fly down south, say in Florida and look at how their fishery is flourishing...

And BigFish, who are you to call people ass holes and tell them to get off their high horses? You're one of the most opinionated people on here and are constantly bitching and ranting about something. Honestly i'm surprised you don't take more of the conservationist approach seeing as how you couldn't seem to buy a fish over thirty inches this fall...
