OK, here is 30 seconds of thought between phone calls:
Fisheries Management is broken.
I would have tight restrictions to ensure there is enough fish, but I would not have bycatch. It comes up in the net, it goes to the market, but it counts against all existing quotas. It doesn't loophole out of a quota. Shock, that means much of the comm bass quota would be used up as bycatch from other fisheries.
Work on better science.
Have less hooks in the water.
Probably prevent political lobbying.
Must be sustainable. Stocks in so many species are hurting. The fisheries management MUST work to reverse that. That is the bottom line.
