Because clearly knowing how many pounds of fluke the average party boat brings in on a daily basis isn't going to somehow provide accurate data right? Not to mention any other research that may be useful. Like if they check the racks and find out that 90% of the fish at the size we are keeping are females and that we're doing more harm than good. So they make adjustments accordingly?

It's all about the money though, and our president is a muslim, Kennedy was killed by a magic bullet made of frozen meat fired from a grassy knoll, and we didn't ever really go to the moon...
