Yeah, slot limits set a size range. This gives smaller fish the chance to breed and leaves bigger breeding stock alone as well.

I do think that sport boats contribute to the problem. Reducing bag limits would definitely take off pressure. Related to that, in 5 years as a deckhand I never once saw a sea lion eat a bass. I'm sure it happens, but I've thrown a lot of bass at sea lions and never had a taker. But, they sure do reek havoc on a lot of other species. They need to be controlled, they are way over populated.
