Assault on fishing rights

[ocean]

Bad enough other countries ruin our fisheries and then we have to suffer but a lot of the problems in our fisheries is created by us the fishermen and then we complain when the officials step in and impose strict rules on our fisheries to help it. Fishermen need to look at themselves and take blame for the damages that are caused by their ignorance.For example do you really need to keep everything you catch and are you going to eat it or let it get freezer burn and throw it away a year later?Fishermen need to change their mentality for example there are a lot of locals i have seen out there fishing and keeping every bass they catch no matter what the size and they teach their kids this and those kids will teach theirs the same thing. I have taught my kids keep what you will eat and if you are not going to eat it within 24 hours let it go to grow and reproduce. My kids understand this i dont know why adults cant figure this out.[pirate] In florida they had banned commercial swordfishing and now look at that fishery one of the best in the world .Also they limited the amount of mackeral and that fishery is awesome now.
