Understood.. Just wasn't thinking along those lines...
I guess it makes sense.. Guy keeps 25,brings home 10 or so- sells 15 at $2.50 a pound, and it pays for a little bit of his trip.. Not worth the risk IMHO..
15 fish of that size is not a bad limit at all... There will always be "pin hookers" I guess.. I thought that was dying off in the modern age. I am sorry to hear it has not.. It makes the vessel, and also the captain and mates on these fine boats look bad when one of these "sportsmen" gets nailed at the dock. They don't deserve that. It goes into the paper, on the internet etc.
They get a black eye through NO fault of their own because a few greedy idiots feel they can disregard legal bag limits.. With 40- 50 guys slinging fish up by 2's and 3's all around the boat all day, they can only do so much... Not enough eyes.. However, they should not need that many eyes... A little bit of self restraint and sense of fair play would go a long way....
