What was the Recreational tuna quota? As has been stated here many times, Comms consistently come in far under their quota so then what's the big deal if Recs go over.

Just like with striped bass, I have to imagine that estimating the recreational catch of tuna involves just as much fuzzy math and pseudo-science, depending on who's doing the study and which industry lobbies hardest with them.
