Right now , Mass commercial fisherman are taking the breeding stock out of the fishery. In a couple of years they'll want to lower the limit again.
I have some friends who fish commercially in MA. They follow the rules very strictly so you can't blame them but yesterday , one of them caught and sold more fish over 40 inches than I will catch and release in that size range in the next 5 years. These are law abiding people. The laws need to be changed.
