So all the summertime families and tourists looking to enjoy a fun day of fishing are going to say "sorry kids this year the limit is 2-3 keepers and not 8, looks like it's mini-golf instead!"

Let them take home a fish and maybe next year maybe you see them back. They sure don't need 8 to be happy.
Additionally, how many people walk off head boats with MORE than 2-3 keepers a trip? Sure seems like people have still been paying the 50-60 bucks and leaving with 0-2 keepers anyway. Goes back to what I said about blackfisherman and bag limits.
The "greater good" is to keep the season open during it's peak (summer months) and let people actually take something home with them.
