Yeah, I think we're about getting a good proposal here. I'd say 1 at 28,
1 at 40. The 1 at 28 will usually mean the sport will take the first keeper they catch, regardless of size, which will protect the bigger breeders some. 1 at 40 would make a trophy hard to catch, but not impossible; sometimes they would get one, often they wouldn't (I never
did more than 39" on any of my charters). That would give the sports a small, but not unrealistic, chance of taking home a real trophy, while protecting breeders in the 28" to 40" range, similar to the Maine regs. And, as we know from the moratorium the last time, it's the smaller fish, who may have years of breeding left in them, that need to be protected.
