I didnt say we are beating them in total catch , your post said rod and reel fisherman can never hurt a fishery. I showed you real numbers for what could be caught by the AMOUNT of recreational fisherman just here in NJ .
boats feeding the World are not just catching the fish off the NJ coast.
When you add up how Little a catch needs to be caught when your talking about over a 1/4 million anglers it adds up fast
