Many examples have been found of dead fish floating next day, or many over limits, or undersized.

ETA - Admins....please move this to Conservation Board.

I agree with this, especially around where I fish. 99% of the locals bow fish and they think the run what goes down there, shooting under sized fish and over limits is always common with them. At least if this law is put up it could cut some of this out, also as stated why do you need to shot reds? Plenty of fun shooting sheephead, flounder and drum. Well just my opinion also like cmdrost said catch a under sized red with rod and reel you can throw him back and every one is happy....
