Not that I agree with it. I think we should just sink the Mediterranean fishing fleet and keep the fish for ourselves, but that's a whole different issue.

Some recreational charter arrangements are to sell bluefin tuna with the proceeds being some sort of split between the boat and the charter patrons. The proposed regs would result a loss of revenue on the recreational side. If its a big bluefin, you have to worry the the fish will not be fully consumed by the charter and my pet peeve is good fish going to waste.
