Wow, mind blowing discard numbers. I'm glad that I'm doing my part in saving the fisheries by releasing my 17 1/2" Fluke, and only keeping 5 larger fish.

You can't tell me that there shouldn't be more/some innovation here...

Why can't the commercial fishing industry be forced to come up with technology to mitigate this waste?  and make it mandatory in order to continue fishing...

Too much waste which could be lessened if you want my opinion...

Problem is...nobody make them... nosmly

I wonder if that includes all the shorts I release and don't make it?   :headscra:
