Bob, surely you are not comparing freshwater management to migratory saltwater species?
If saltwater regs were purely up to the states, it'll be a free for all. It's a melee mentality as things stand, since the fed's authority is pretty weak. Look back at the 2017 NJ fluke grab, or the bunker/striper shenanigans by Maryland...these are fish that travel through state waters as part of their migration. Of course there ought to be management at the federal level, who else is going to referee the take?
