But if somebody is keeping more, and they are getting eaten ...who is anyone to judge them and call them greedy. They aren't doing anything illegal.

I know a lot of those guys. They spend hours on the phone after every tide trying to give their fish away. The guys who take 2 fish every day aren't doing it to put food on their tables, or on anyone in particular's table. They're doing it to parade them around and look like highliners--to stoke their ego.
Here's what happens---some people take their fish. They butcher filleting them, and a lot goes to waste. Then they take the fillets and stick them in the freezer. Come January, they discover the fish they froze in June, unwrap it, and find that it's covered with freezer burn because it wasn't packaged the right way to freeze. And then it goes right in the garbage.
