Beamie....let me put it into simple terms for you. A commercial fisherman, on commercial days, is allowed to keep up to 30 fish at 36 inches or larger if I am correct. (Correct me if I am wrong but you will get the point). Why should a commercial fisherman, boat or surf, be allowed to deck or beach those 30 fish and then cull the large and weigh them in for tourneys???? It would not seem really fair would it to those recreational fisherman who have to make a decision to keep certain fish or release certain fish as they can't sit there with 30 in the box and pick the best. See what I mean Beamie?
Now....all that aside.....my explanation has nothing to do with Raider Ron....I hope he and his family had a blast and all went large!
You asked so I laid it out for you...this is all I have to say about it...they are the rules and by God they will be followed.
