My recommendation to those for a smaller bag/size limit is to get a bigger boat
and fish where the 18" fish live. For those who fish off land, hop on a charter or party boat.

Guessing you don't fish the party boats. An 18" fish on a party boat is difficult. I had 25 keepers last year on 12 trips, including a limit first time out. There were lots of zeros. At 17.5" I would have had a great season. Pretty much don't even want to go fluke fishing any more. Do you really think an 18" limit helps the party boats?
