So what ?? everybody has to " Limit " or its not a success ?? Is the concern that there were people out there fishing that still had not caught a fish and you could have taken that fish ?? Nothing you have said would have reduced the number of boats or the effort. Your missing the point. What does how the quota is reached have to do with you other than you caught all the fish you were allowed, unless you wanted more. How are you being wronged ?? The allowed number of fish was reached for sportsmen. Why care who caught them.
