The reason they were in the bin is they were probably dead when they came up from the weight in the trawl. Listen to what the guys is saying, the bottom was paved. If so, why drag so long....answer so they can cull to get the better priced fish. No one can show that video and feel they have a leg to stand on as far as the need for do away with regulation. I understand the frustration but to go out and kill that many fish to keep only the ones which fetch the best price is completely idiotic. The reason regulations are needed is precisely because of the behavior on this video and this idiot attempts to use it to rationalize why regulations aren't necessary when he's proving the exact opposite point by exploiting the resource. If there weren't limits, every one of those fluke and maybe five times that amount would have been harvested until the price plummets at the market to a point where it's cost prohibitive to bring the catch back to the dock. And then they'd throw the by-catch overboard anyway. Quotas should be put in place. A limited season should be implemented with oversight. Recreational guys need to be part of the solution as well but when is the last time that anyone saw a recreational angler, charter or party boat throw 100 5 - 7 lb fluke overboard because they exceeded their limit. It's absolutely tragic how public resources are decimated by a few greedy bastards and the corrupt politicians get their pockets lined for making it possible!
