Cresson said CCA would like to see a five-fish creel limit placed on the fish as well as an 18-inch minimum-length limit.
"It just seems like it's smart, common sense and forward-looking to have some management of these fish," he said.
Cresson told commissioners the recapture rate of tagged tripletail is 2 1/2 times higher than with other game fish, which, he said, is an indication of how vulnerable the fish are to over-harvest.

Louisiana is currently the only Gulf state that doesn't limit the recreational take of tripletail. Texas, Mississippi and Alabama allow three fish per angler per day, while Florida allows two.
Each state has a different size-minimum requirement, ranging from 15 to 18 inches.
