Understood,, However, if a guy spends $150 to go on an "open/charter" boat, he will typically kill and eat a fish. same with private boats that spend thousands a year to fish. Multiply that by a thousand guys a week, and the number of fish killed every spring and fall can get pretty high... Even with a 1 fish limit, these fish are under some intense pressure...
