New rules

What about the people that are taking fish to put on the table? Any fish market you go to would love to have stripe bass to sell at 14 to 20.00 a pound because people happen to like it. I think it is a great tasting filet if the fish is 10 to 14 or 16 pounds. On that basis it would sadden me to see a moratorium, unfortunately I think we might damn well end up there. Option 3,1 fish 28 to 35 is the best option being offered. I would still like to see a "holy grail slot" 48" and above with a split mode weight limit. So I guess I don't agree, and like I said before I released in the neighborhood of 50 fish last season that were above 35"

Who ever is selling fish to restaurants is going to keep doing it. It was and will continue to be illegal, no slot limit or moratorium is going to stop them. We need much stronger enforcement and harsher penalties to stop that.
