Fish collection in Hawaii halted (2 Viewers)

Mittens and Steve, I couldn't agree with y'all more. I think that we obviously shouldn't over-fish the areas, but at the same time, why aren't they stopping people that trample the reefs or maybe drag an anchor over it? It seems that our hobby is being targeted because we aren't as strong as the tourist industries, yet I'd be willing to bet that mass people treating the reef like a playground causes more damage than we do. Just my two cents.

Understand there is 37 protected areas reefs in Hawaii already. Yellow tangs are very prolific. It would be the same
if we barred catching trout in Texas

They already do! Why can't I take my cast net and through over a school of trout?!! Thanks for nothing, Obama!

I'm excited just to get something over a few inches on my little fishing rod.

Somehow something is telling me you're telling me a "fish story"

Come fishing with us one day, cause that Red wasn't the only big fish we caught.

I've never told a lie when it comes to fishing. Did I ever tell you about the time I went noodling for sharks?
