Keeping short fluke

[thefishermanmechanic]

I don`t advocate violence or illegal actions, but if there is a group of employed people that are trying to unemploy hundreds if not thousands that have been supporting their families and paying taxes doing so, then those should have their employment threatened as well as their families welfare ! Find a way legally to do so if not the writing is on the wall its just a matter of the Date you put on the head stone of the recreational fisherman and the Charter Industry!

The only way for tyranny to persist is if good men do nothing. In that spirit I say we fight!!!! If breaking an un just law is necessary so be it!!!! I'm done with sitting back and taking shit from a worthless self serving government. Things may have to get worse before it gets better. But nobody likes a quitter!!! If you so chose to follow their rules so be it. As for me I have served this country for a reason. To preserve our freedoms and secure our existence. So there you have it call me what you will but I suggest you look at these regs for what there are. An over reach by the government to insure they gain call of every aspect of your existence. That is not freedom. My country my water my fish and I earned the right live my life as I see fit not as a bunch of stuffed shirts believe I should. F them

I get it on all three fronts, commercial guys are struggling with regs, cost of fuel, wages, foreign competition, etc.

Recreational guys just want to bring home some fish, they are not throwing back insane amounts of dead fish and are paying a fortune as well for a day on the water. They just want their share of the stock.

The charter/party boat captain wants to see their clients enjoy the fruits of their efforts. They work hard to get their paying customers some fish to take home for their family and friends.

The environmentalist want to see fish in general thrive, not only rebuilt to acceptable levels but back to true thriving like many species once did.

Me, I believe that we have all been screwing with Mother Nature too much. I am guilty of taking home my legal limit of many species of fish on many occasions, many times more than I will eat or really need. I for one will abide by the four fish at 18 with hopes that it saves some fish for the next generation. I will however be pissed off on many trips when all I catch are 17 3/4" fish!

Politics aside, species aside, science says we are depleting the resources much faster than the species is reproducing themselves regardless of who is getting what percentage.

Sorry for the not so popular opinion
