I feel ya on the C&R. I seriously saw hundreds if not thousands of calicos on the last few trips to Cat. Schools of calicos were at every stop. I mean schools of a hundred fish EVERYWHERE. Also, I know these fish are old, but come MLPA time nobody will ever be able to catch them where I did ever again. They made it to the dinner table and were great! With each large calico or seabass I thank them for their life. Seabass also take many years to grow to 50lbs, but people don't seem to care as much about the killing of them. I care about all that I kill and have been passing on more and more fish. The last trip I made to Cat I took one (1) calico for an entire day. (160 drops).
