It should be a big issue I'll go as far as saying 60 percent of the rec fishermen out there dont report their fish if they did we would not be talking about this now.Just about all the fishermen who sell Commercially to(fish markets)have to report their fish becuse they get a trip ticket in order to get paid,As for the Quality of fish at the market it should be a huge concern!!For me as a consumer I like to no that when i sit down to dinner at Sushi Rock im getting the best quality fish i can get,not something that some weekend warrior went out there and threw on the deck for three hours baking in the sun!
