I depend on that so my customers can at least (hopefully) have a good eating sized fish to take home. Catch and release is going put the rest of us out of business.

Read what he actually wrote .
He included the bonus tag size fish in his fish limit size , and extended it 34” which is 3” more than you currently have .

If the limit was as he stated 24” to 34” you would have a bigger pool of fish for your fares to keep .

As far as CR putting guys out of business , I haven’t seen anyone who has been catching 40-48” fish cry they don’t have anything for the table .
Seen a lot of hoot and hollering about what great fish they are catching .

.boats south of you are railed daily for guys looking to catch those jumbos
