Default Current Bluefin Tuna Regs

What are the Bluefin Regs for a For Hire HMS Recreational permit?? 1 over and 1 under 47 inches and you can keep one trophy fish per year over 73 inches plus??


I saw this on the NMFS site and now I'm totally confused

3-fish General category bluefin tuna limit for Jun-Aug 2013

The National Marine Fisheries Service is adjusting the General category Atlantic bluefin tuna daily retention limit to three large medium or giant (73" or greater curved fork length) bluefin tuna effective June 1-August 31, 2013. This limit applies to vessels permitted in the Atlantic tunas General category (a commercial handgear category), and to vessels permitted in the HMS Charter/Headboat category while fishing commercially. For further information, please see the notice in the library (link at left of page) or at: www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/breakingnews/index.htm.
