If they change the current regulations then they will have to modify the regs every other year. I don't understand why the atchafalaya basin is the only place that hasn't had a reg. change on size, the state pays biologist to do research, but nothing changes! then they send out surveys to see if people are happy with a 14in limit and still there is no change. why don't the researchers and biologist go to the landings and ask the people fishing the area, that's the best research they can do!

I agree with that. If we'd drop the 14 inch minimum, the population would be depleted in no time, especially since nearly all the fish are just under 14inches. I would put a slot 13-16 that way all the fish can grow over 16 inches. By that time I think they get smart and get caught less
