It can't...which is why "selective fisheries" are a gift to the commercial industry, not a boon to sportfishing or the resource, so far as the LCR springer fishery is concerned.

As I've said dozens of times...CnR, just like selective fisheries, are great tools when used in a situation when they benefit the fish and the fishing, and are useless if the situation is not appropriate for them.

In this case, it's wildly appropriate...if you're a commercial fisherman. Otherwise, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other to the resource, and a definite loser for sportfishing.

Fish on...
