The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is proposing rule amendments to clarify and standardize how fishermen should measure saltwater finfish.
FWC’s saltwater fishing rules express size limits of marine fish in either fork length or total length. Size limit measurements for fish expressed in fork length, such as Spanish mackerel, pompano, and cobia, are considered to be easily understood by fishermen and do not need further clarification beyond “from the tip of the snout to the rear center edge of the tail.â€
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
It seems like ya'll like to brag about throwing the little ones back, but who will actually admit to keeping an oversize one? Measuring gets more and more difficult as the beers progress.
How true, it is.
