Like I said in my previous post RH...I try to stay within the bracket(size) that the fisherman have...I don't, except rare occasions, take a big ling. And most divers I know won't either. In the last four years I know of 8 20lb+ fish that were taken by the divers out of our store...I am sure there may have been a few more but usually there are quite a few pics...

...and from what I have seen most divers are very aware of what is going on down there. And are very concerned.

And I really wonder what the difference is between me taking 20lbs of fish in one fish and someone else taking 20lbs of fish in several over the course of a few weekends. I do have a freezer. I don't waste it, But I can't take a big fish because I took the responsibility to not crank out 8 or 10 little me's( the world is ever grateful ). I still eat less fish over the course of a year, Obviously I am not taking spawning age fish...very very rarely
