Mercury advisory.
#16
I should eat more of smaller fish lower down the food chain to ingest less mercury, so the limits need to be revised to also allow a catch of a few pounds of small fish regardless of how many for good health of those who are concerned about mercury. I am. Besides, that will leave more large fish for the rest of us to catch.

The big fish I've been catching with large swim bait are unavailable to the others here. I ate them. Wouldn't most here also prefer I satisfy my fish appetite with more of small fish? What's my limit on minnows? How do you prepare and cook minnows(or small fish in general)? Should I have to count and measure each one or will I be able to (in future proclamations) just weigh the whole batch?

Current limits encourage keeping larger fish resulting in ingesting more neuro toxic mercury with the associated health consequences. With Obamacare, we all will be paying for the increased health costs related to mercury toxicity. Let's live healthy!

Mercury in fish concerns me and it's a tough issue for me because fish are otherwise very healthful foods high in omega 3 fatty acids and astaxanthin, so I want to consume more yet I'm worried about it.

I like that I have the hand - eye coordination for microelectronics and sharpening drills or anything and rock solid steadiness holding a firearm on target like a statue and a killer immune system that has prevented me from getting a cold or flu for decades. I've paid my dentist a lot of money to remove mercury fillings and replace them with a ceramic composite, so mercury in the larger fish troubles me. We need good health considerations to factor into next year's proclamation.

I wish I had thought of this early enough to have suggested it in the public comments and requests for the new fishing proclamation. But, now all of us have time to consider and discuss it for more of us to be suggesting it for next year.

Let's discuss and suggest alternative limits for those concerned about mercury consumption. That way, when the next proclamation is in progress and public input is invited, we will have more of us to ask for that change for the health conscious.
