Not sure how much I support that, being that I'm less concerned about Game fish status than I am about the status of the fish they eat...

Thats what happens when you fish in Maine too much, you get that "Stripers Forever" view of life by osmosis.

Game fish status doesn't indicate you cannot eat what you catch. It just means they won't be selling the catch. Not a huge problem in Mass or RI but a substantial problem in VA and south |

from the above.. i know agree, wow thats dumb..
but..
what is the importance of the EEZ? other than providing a place for fish to unknowingly relax?
if it's nothing more than a place that fish are.. who cares if it's open to fishing? i could see if it was for mating or something more significant than a fish hang out. but if it's not what would the impact really be?
it's not like the shore guys will be able to get to it. and if ya have a boat, chances are you are filling the 2 fish limits just about every day ya go out any way. they would just be filled there instead of in the areas currently fished.. which in turn would RELIEVE pressure on the fish in the areas that can be fished now. so in fact if it was open, the production of the current areas would go up. cause fishermen would be spread out even further.. the only problem i could see would be policing an even larger area.. and people high-grading. but if they are law breakers they will break the law regardless of where they fish. and probably already fish the EEZ anyway.
like i said, i know nothing about the EEZ. and the above is assuming it's just a productive place for large fish.
of course if it a place for large numbers of huge fish.. then a slot limit should be imposed if it's open. cause if the last statement is true, then i would assume the fear is over fishing of mega bass who produce more eggs.
but please some one correct me and explain the importance of the EEZ to the fish.
