I like your idea of lowering the slot limit to allow anglers to harvest the first two they catch. I'd like to see that regulation applied across all saltwater salmon fisheries. We have too many fisheries where anglers find themselves "sorting" through multiple fish they aren't supposed to catch to get a bite from a keeper. I think we'd do less unintended damage bonking the first two, fin or no fin, and getting off the water.

I'm assuming that fewer fish dying in the blackmouth fishery (while achieving planned harvest rates) might benefit the ecosystem overall, and the SRKWs in particular. Put another way, why not maximize the potential benefits associated with the program?
