I wouldn't mind seeing more restrictive limits on thresher and mako. The only problem is that more restrictive limits on recreational anglers are pretty much pointless when there is long-lining going on just outside of our waters. Commercial long liners probably take more in a day than the entire yearly recreational catch. Its too bad mako aren't cute like dolphin. If they were, the PETA/Greenpeace/Sea Shepard douchebags would be all over it. Stop buying shark, tuna, swordfish, rockfish....from the market and convince all your friends and acquaintances to do likewise and maybe we wouldn't have to reduce the recreational take limits.
