Not that we shouldn't adhere to rules, of course we should. But they need to make sense. And commercials keeping 16" fish while we search for 18s is ridiculous.

I brought the slot limit up at the last SSFFF meeting and the scientists looked at me like I had 3 eyes.... Not sure if that was because they thought it was a bad idea or impractical.... Hope someone can shed some light on this as it make perfect sense to me, but I'm no scientist.
