Last year was a banner year for Albies
Great fighting fish from the beach or with a fly rod. And a great looking fish as well.
We did eat one a few years back,a friend from Taxas thought it was great!
As for the 3 catch derby rule. In my 20 years I have never taken 3 Albies to the weigh in station, or do I know of anyone who has? We all try to catch the 29incher and release the rest, I have seen ton's released. You only need one for the grand Slam award.
As for removing them from the derby, You do not have to be in the derby to catch them, When they removed the bass from the derby years ago I was hurt and stopped paying for the derby but still fished for bass.
I just hope they show up again this year like they have the last few years

PS.what they should do is make the min 27 inches NOT 25
