There was some talk about that too Larry.. A lot of that was a result of the study the SSFFF helped fund. A lot of time, money and effort was spent gathering data in regards to size and sex. That data could in the future lead to slot fish or other regs to encourage the release of the large female fish.
Problem is that information needs to be reviewed and accepted by other scientists in the next peer review so will not be considered in time for the 2017 regs.
Lots of moving parts and bureaucracy at work here Larry. We all know how that goes...We just need to let it run it's coarse and keep the pressure on.
