Re: NMFS considering petition to protect thresher
i kind of disagree that 54" fork length is "extremely conservative." taking a 54" fork thresher or mako back to the dock .. its like the equivalent of shooting a week old fawn deer from you're tree stand.. you're taking the resource before its had a chance to grow and become that trophy buck. protect it while its small, and then you will have more big bucks roaming the woods to shoot and harvest. we have these species we know can achieve 700+ lbs, they should introduce a alternative minimum Fork length for them. to me that is far preferable to a complete ban
