I think it would be close

How do you figure half if going from 2@28 to 2@33 is only supposed to give us around a 25% reduction?
I don't think it would result close to a 50% reduction. Most of the fish I caught that were over 28" last season were also over 33" so had I wanted to keep a fish the extra 5" would have made no difference and I could have kept the fish either way. In the boat fishing areas that I am familiar with most keeper sized fish are over 33". For hire boats should have no issues putting their clients on 6 fish at either 28" or 33". Where it would have an impact is on inexperienced guys or guys that don't fish often but they aren't getting very many keepers at 28".
