Mike, I was wondering the same thing before you posted. What about the long-liners and draggers out there that scoop it all up.
When I used to have a hand-jiggers license, it was a good thing to catch those big guys,it meant a bigger profit for the boat. I now see that I was a part of the problem......sorry!
But you make a good point, we have to use our heads to help the fish as well in order to keep our fishing priviledges intact.
I think that the Fisheries guys are smarter than that though, they will know somethings up when they pass overhead and see all those orange floaters everywhere.....they will count all the released and dead fish against the sporties whether we bring them in or not, so you may want to rethink the part about wasting them. I do agree with your idea of not targeting them though, maybe mark the fishing spot on our GPS with a skull and cross instead of a fish mark.
