There was quite a stir when limits were imposed on blue lines. Still don't get your disdain against summer flounder which happens to be one of if not the most important fisheries both socially and economically for the Mid-Atlantic States. I don't recall anyone saying the sun rises and sets on summer flounder but if your opinion is it's not a vital resource I couldn't disagree with you more.

Think you're going to have to keep waiting because truthfully I don't even understand the basis of your analogy. One fishery has nothing to do with the other and couldn't be more polar opposite.
