That's reasonable, and its not going to put anyone out of business (it won't be good, but it is liveable). If the science says we're knocking the sh*t out of that year class (and I believe we have been) and we need to back off - then we do what's right for the fishery.
As for availabily of the slot limit fish - there are plenty. I really think the idea that there weren't any out there under 60+ inches was just repeated over and over on the internet by alot of people that don't actually fish - I saw PLENTY.
While I'm on my soapbox - as far as the 27-47's go -if anyone thinks its a good idea to kill a tuna smaller than a keeper bass - they should be ashamed.
