Current Bluefin Tuna Regs

[BWhaler23]

Now I'm confused and also suffered heat stroke this week so my brains may still be a little scrambled, but lets see if I got this stright....I have a captains license, and the boat is registered commercially, and I have the headboat/charterboat HMS license. From what I understand if I take paying customers I have to abide by recreational rules, but I can make a commercial trip and commercial rules apply, and if memory serves me, I don't need the commercial safety gear, that would only apply if I had a general or commercial only license, also the safety gear would depend on size of crew/vessel. It was a bad week to get sick, would have been a good time to try and look for some bluefin.
