i have no problem with someone keeping thier ONE nate a year. the runs on the coast can support it no dout. and its not like every single one of us are over there keeping out ONE nate a year.

a few people wont make a huge difference. AND its not like every single nate being kept by people is coming out of one river.

now a fish that size was more then likely kept to be mounted sure. but 5-10lb natives being kept are more then likely for food. and people gotta eat.
