Dave- there are a lot of guys that are selling fish illegally now. I am sure that you know your share of them. Thats not going to change whether this law passes or not. If I ever wanted to sell fish, I know plenty of people that would buy them from me. But I have no interest and not because its illegal. Most rec guys fish to put meat on THEIR table not to make a living. Sure there might be times when you hit the motherlode and can keep some and sell some but it doesnt happen that often. Its too hard to make a living off the ocean. Some may try but will quickly figue out that its a losing proposition. I think this law would allow the legal sale of fish mostly by those already doing it illegally. Still dont know where I stand on it, but if it passes like anything else, the market will sort it self out. I dont think there will be "millions of boats out on the fifty line" if it does pass. Fuel is just too expensive and its just not that easy to consistently catch big fish to pay for it.
