Anyone knowingly and willingly breaking any of the enforcement rules are only hurting our fishing futures regardless of there belief in the regulations. The other thing I struggle with is that I like to believe our true fisher people are ethical and do everything they can to protect our futures. Anyone knowingly violating the laws is not very ethical and should question everything in life that type of person does or does not do. These types of people are probably also keeping undersized lings and rock fish n closed areas and needs to be stopped.
I do not like the 80 cm rule and wish there were exceptions like bleeding gut or gill hooked fish that are going to die anyway allowed to be retained but that would be hard to prove.
