If a slot limit was in place, it would ensure that most of the females in the prime breeding age are far more protected than the males.

Maine has got it right.. also Florida's redfish regs are to be learned from as well.
I agree with you on the redfish of FLA also the snook.
Also the male bass only live about 10yrs; whereas the "cow" will reach 25+ yrs. Ron
