Land Tuna,
I agree with you in that I too will do what is best for the resource. My concern is that the commission makes too many one sided decisions. There is allot of information on C&R kill rates. How accurate I do not know for sure but have to go with what science has said. That 1 in every 20 fish that is C&R will die. If that is the case Then what is the difference if I C&R 20 fish or I just catch and keep 1. The effect on the resource is the same. The balance that I look for is very simple. For every allowed 20 fish to be caught and released I have the option of fishing and keeping the 1rst fish I catch.. I am not painting elietist marks on anyone. I just want the commission to set regulations with all aspects in mind.. Find a balance and the majority will be fine with it..
