I second that Santini. I have been saying to myself for years that with a hook and line, rod and reel...(forget about long line for now)...you will not overfish an industry. You can keep a selective size.
Even if a guy had say a 35' Bruno&Stillman with 3 automatic jigging machines with 1 mate onboard he could get his 800# on a good day, maybe not everyday, that's fishing. Even though it is a machine fishing it still seems a better way to sustain a fishery to me.
