You seem to be dissing the catch and release folks...but if not for them, your personal limits would probably drop to 10% of where they are at now. So remember IMHO...as a fishing community, we are all working together to make this a great "recreational" activity...and not purely a grocery shopping trip.

Sundance,,,, great point, C&R type anglers have indeed been "subsidizing" the fishery allowing the catch and keep types to catch more fish and still keep a few.
