So basically you'd still kill every bass in the ocean if you're weren't being a good family.

You're singing a different tune here only because it appears that some of these guys might be your buddies who are fishing different waters, not competing with you. I'm sorry, but you're still full of #^&#^&#^&#^&.

Throughout time, respect and rewards went to the anglers who could find the fish, especially the bigger fish. This applied to all, be they rec, comms, or charter. Successful captains were successful because they caught, and reaped the benefits be it money, prizes or booked schedules. These were respected jobs. If the statutes allow them to operate and take fish, I have no problem with them, or the jobs they pursue. Changing the statutes is another issue altogether. But if those choosing these professions also choose to skirt the law, they will get what they deserve, if caught. We are talking professionals, making money, putting their boats in an area. Indiscriminate enforcement does not make a witch hunt.
