Make snapper a gamefish
 

why couldn't CCA go after gamefish status for snapper like they did for redfish?

Because they're idiots! I was at the NMFS meeting last year in Houston when Dr. Nelson pulled that bs and walked out the door and turned cca's back on the whole snapper issue.

007 The CCA has done a lot for our Fishing!! You can't take that away from this orag.

I guess you didn't read what I said. I said that they turned their back on the whole [SIZE=4]snapper[SIZE=2] issue.[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Pffftttt..... As long as there are lobbiests lining the pockets of the CCA and NMFS to keep them at a commercial status.... they will never be game fish. Also... if they become game fish, such as the Red Drum... we won't be able to bring any in from gulf waters..... maybe.
