All I did last season was fish party boats, and experienced by far the best NJ fluking in 10 years, in size and numbers. There are skunk days and limit days, you can't rely on memory, those of you who don't keep a fishing log. It's strong testament to the efficacy of correct conservation.
PLEASE try to see beyond your skewed recollection of "barely keepers" and recognize that when you're talking about 1/2" it's all relative. You're simply replacing the 17.9999" monkey with the 17.49999" monkey.
