If the voting members had absolutely zero interest in the fishery, It would be totaly shut down because you hurt the fishys.
one could make the argument that even the solitary guy on the beach, with 1@28" to feed his family, Is in fact financially benefiting from the free food...

You're reading it wrong. A person has to harvest or process, or represent those who harvest or process, 10% of the TOTAL LANDINGS OF THE MANAGED SPECIES in order to be disqualified. The impact of the species as a percentage of the individual's landings is not the criterion used--although I believe that it should be.
And if you found a way to make catching fish free--I suggest that you quickly patent the process. When all costs incurred are considered, recreationally-caught fish are, in most situations, a lot more expensive than those caught in a store.
