How about just fining an idiot that is seen gaffing small or any size fish and returning them to the ocean.
Just how often is this happening......enough to justify this proposal. When fishing alone allot easier to gaff a big fish then net. I have lost some nice fish trying to get one in a net on other peoples boats. Especially when there is a multi hook plug........the plug hangs up on the net stopping the fish from going in, then the hook pops out...........goodbye.......
