The position of one of my buddies was that just because the little girls couldn't "play" these sturgeon on their own, due to a lack of physical strength, it didn't precluded them from participating in this fishery and punching one. In their defense they were clearly trying to involve themselves with the fishing process, chopping up the shad carcasses and helping watch for bites. To my partner this was a similar situation to digging a handicaped person's limit of razors, because they were not able to do so themselves.
