there are so many red snapper out there, I just don't see how the commercial guys can't keep however much they are allowed and on top give recreational guys more time and up it to 5 fish limits.
I've only been offshore 10-12 times in the last 3 years (not with a guide), and the red snapper were literally at every single stop. After my first 3 trips out, i wouldn't even fish for them with normal tackle. I'd chum them up and throw bass baits at them. Chug bugs and rattle traps btw, tons of fun lol
