As a charter boat I say 1 fish at 28 OR 33" is the way it should have always been! In addition, 50% of the "traditional commercial harvest" should have been the desired target from the beginning. As they were cranking up the volume (the commercial poundage) over the years I began to protest louder and louder and the answer I got back from "fishery managers" was something like: Well we are only going to kill what was traditionally harvested before". When I asked "wasn't it those TRADITIONAL HARVEST LEVELS that wiped them out the last time"? With that they become speachless.
Fishery management does not work because they "manage" for "maximum yield" instead of "abundance". Plus they are (for the most part) all corrupt. They get really nasty when I use the "C-word" but that is what lobbiests and special interest groups are doing: "buying" influence to push their agenda. Our government has legalized this kind of corruption by allowing the existance of lobbiests. They need to go!...JC
