I understand that...to some extent. However, I am not convinced that I should be able to keep a bass every day I fish, but someone else who doesn't fish can't go to a nice restaurant and get a bass fillet during a limited season. It is all about total numbers to me. Economic impact wise, having a healthy fish population is what is needed to keep recs fishing. Even if I could never keep a bass, I would still fish. Not the case for the commercial guys.
Stuff needs to be fixed, but cutting the commercials out doesn't seem to be necessary to me, but I am open to all points on this. I would actually be much happier to have a limited commercial season and not allow recs to keep fish over 40".
