I always thought if there was ANY restriction on recreational harvest, then commercial harvest should be shut down completely.
Numbers I heard years ago was that for every dollar (single, $1) per pound net to commercial fishermen, that same catch was worth about $20 for recreational to the state and feds. They just can't figure out how to perform the headassectomy needed to see facts instead of bribes.
Not true. You need to see the numbers and amount of money the Snappa Mafia brings in and greases the states. Google “King Pins of Gulf”.
