So for trout and redfish you will be able to keep smaller fish and have to throw back a 27" red cause if you pinch his tail, it will go over the mark...Is that the way you guys read it?

Yep course I don't much care for a Red thats over 25 inches know how they just don't taste that good

If your tournament fishing it matters, not that I have caught one in awhile

Yep and I printed it out ta keep in the boat also, just in case the MAN aint read the new rules
