I watched a commercial guy unload at the canal tonite. He had his limit but every fish was just over the size limit. I saw this happen with Cod in the early 90's. We killed them one year but they were all just over the limit. The next year we couldn't find a fish. If they keep wiping out the breeding size year class fish we will be back to nothing again. They should also drop to one fish a day for recreational fisherman. Maine has the strangest size limits I have ever seen. 20" to 26" is a kepper then anything over that has to be realeased until you get to 36" then you can keep it. They a taking fish before they can get to breeding size.
