Its all about selective harvest... Just because its caught doesn't mean it should be kept.
I would rather see the CO's at each boat ramp checking limits in the months of April and May. I have fished here for 15 years now and have guided for 3 years and not one time have I ever been checked for how many fish are in the livewell.
Over harvest is our biggest problem in this state during the peak spawning time.
If we had CO's checking every now and then I would tend to think it would slow down the poachers.
My 2 cents!
