All those 150 shorts will become easy pickings for commercials this fall and winter and the recreational angler will never have an opportunity to harvest them. That's exactly why rec's are handicapped with higher size minimums and commercials literally kill every fluke that unfortunately ends up in their nets by either harvesting them if they're over 14" or throwing them back dead if they're not legal size or of the size bringing the highest market value back at the docks when they offload. So how does this stock sustain itself under those conditions?
