well FL limits are only 5 per person with 1 over 25". You want to catch that many big fish, gotta start releasing more!

For a true conservationist...there's no reason to keep 'em.

actually it's because of the habitat in the indian/banana river lagoon

you wont find a 10 lber on the west coast

now i don't doubt that the limit helps but it was too little too late for florida, high salinity and lack of freshwater marsh/nutrients hurts
