The short answer to your question is that everybody involved in the fishery looses. From charter/party boats, to bait and tackle dealers, to the guys who go out and might catch more than 10 legal size cod. (its not difficult to do, even outside of spawning season).
You're thinking of State sea bass bag limits, the federal limit is 15 fish, and there are no federal limits on tautog!
IMHO it unconsionable for a magazine that caters to recreational fisherman should suggest more restrictive bag limits for some fishermen, especially when they are avocating for loosening bag limits on other recreational fishermen, and all on the same species.
