A little respect for the commercial fishers

I don't think that everybody whould catch his/her own fish. But curbs need

The commercial guys take 89% of the grouper out of the Gulf...yet they keep
reducing the limits for recreational anglers.
That makes no sense.
I would agree that the two facts you present don't seem to make sense
when isolated.
The missing brick in the logic wall would have to be, "What has
happened to the commercial fish limit?" Is it the same as ever, is it
increasing while the recreational fishermen are being cut back, or are
the commercial fishermen experiencing a reduced limit along with the
recreationals? I certainly don't know the answer, but it could be that
a scarce resource is still being distributed about like it always has
been.
