Reason number 2 is the 2 fish a day take........we need to roll that back to 1 fish at 36 inches! Nobody needs 2 fish a day.

So you say blame the commercial people.
Your way of thinking is:
Don't you dare blame the recreational fishermen that catch in access of 25 million pounds and has at least a 6 percent fatality rate on released fish.
With them stats your group kills 1,500,000 fish that you think are going to live when you practice catch & release.
And do not give me the crap that the recreational fishermen bring in dollars to motels, restauarants, etc:
Charter boats do the same thing, they bring in monies to motels, restaurants etc. too, guess what, charter boats are commercial fishing, they receive money.
