True but to much like an honor system to me... I am a commercial guy at heart meaning I have, my father still does, and every man in my family BOTH SIDES moms and dads have fished for a living... That being said the thing is commercial boats have state and federal observers on board to keep them honest at times.. also A "few" grand in TRACKING equipment NO BS there the boats all are being tracked and have to call in departure/ arrival of port so everyone that thinks commercial is so easy try again sorry, if this upsets people sorry but its reality... Other than that I think the States of NE should really just effin step up with the squirrel cops thing.. I followed one down atlantic ave in westerly other night he checked the state beach lot and took off... I think the more the mortality comes from inexperienced people not knowing how to fish in addition to the arsses keeping short fish for NO reason.... My two cents
