Lots more traction on this topic than anticipated. Laws have importance in society. It all began with warning labels. LOL.

Prosecution: "Mr. Siredfish, Where were you at 10:43 am on Nov. 3, 2011? Is this or is this not a copy of your itterations on WellcraftV20.com? And do I have the best data available?"

I'm with you, just not sure about skating with that defense.
The FWC guy said that people will take no matter what the rules state.
No **** sherlock! There are fish species worth protecting but get real. There is no shortage of goliath grouper, black sea bass, redfish, trout, or amber jack. Don't have any first hand data on grouper or red snapper but the folks at Florida Sportsman caught plenty of large red snapper in a size group the Feds claimed there simply weren't any.

What techniques do they use to count all the fish in the ocean anyway?
