A slot limit may be the answer, or maybe not. My only point was that mathematically you are likely get a greater return over time with the three smaller fish.

Only if you are talking about killing three small fish for every large fish. You are assuming the three fish make it to age 20. They won't so the argument is invalid. The math doesnt work the way you propose it. I would like to move on, but I think it is important for people to understand the science of it so if asmfc gets their act together and moves on it, the community understands the basics.
