John,
I was playing devil's advocate. I actually agree pretty much with what Sandman just posted.
I posed the scenario to ask for clarification because before you mentioned that all comm caught fish had to be sold, it did seem much too easy to just buy a cheap comm license in order to simply take more fish. In other words it seemed more like a scam that the state was running in order to charge anglers in order to take more fish (which the state doesn't stock so why charge). If comms MUST sell the fish then this is not the case.
Personally, I find that saltwater fishing is feast or famine. It would be nice to take more than 1 fish when things are good (even if it is just 2 like RI, or ME) to make up for all those days I get skunked.
