Pretty much all of the above reaffirms my comments. The commercial regulatory system is broken and exploited. You see it and, from the sounds of it, accept that it is an issue. So close it down.
With regards to my "anecdotal evidence" in terms of how comm guys scam the system and how you somehow think it is impossible, how about the major sting operation that broke up the poaching cartel in MD. If it's so impossible, how'd they get away with it?
How about the Mass guy that was arrested and had his boat impounded due to the hidden compartment where he stored poached fish above the limit?
How about the commercial boat out of NC last year that was boarded by the Coast Guard in the EEZ significantly over their limit?

You're welcome to hope the government meddles in my industry, because they do. As a business owner, the government intrudes in my way of life every single day so don't expect sympathy from me when it comes to dealing with the government.
