I've not heard anything like this. Right now recreational permits are being sold under the understanding that the rec limit will be one fish per day per vessel between 27" and 73" and one fish per vessel per year above 73" as a trophy fish.

Not sure if the confusion comes from the fact that all BFT caught before June 1 are catch and release only. After June 1 the regs above apply.

I know a lot of long time tuna fishermen and no one has heard this. I can't imagine that permits would be sold under these regs and then changed during the season, but who knows. I'm wondering where this rumor began...what's the source?

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
