Longer season, selective. From what I've heard some of the charters aren't interested in getting you a nice fish, they will bonk all keepers, including small fish, until the boat limits are met. Just seems to be a way to keep fuel costs down and get back to the dock sooner. As far as releasing the wild fish, they should use a long handled dehooking device, or if the bait is taken deep, a long handled stick with a knife on the end to cut the leader. Everybody (including charters) needs to take an approach that is best for the fish, not what is easiest.
