I agree with Meaux. I have had amazing trips will NO throw backs. My average fish so far this year has been 2#. My wife caught one almost 6. I think we are seeing the results of the lower fishing pressure the year of the spill. My question is how will the increase size effect us long term? Will we continue to get bigger fish?

If they do indeed get bigger then could this mean that the 25 fish limit is too high?
