@ Niknak50–
If you kept everything there would be nothing left for others.
THINK!!
Really,35″ isn’t even close to the 27″ limit. NO EXCUSE. oh, crack cocaine involved.
If you have to whip out a measuring tape every time you land a fish, what fun is that?
The heaviest 27″ redfish wins the rodeo Mike……………….
this oversize thing really puzzles me. a fishing rodeo (correct me if i’m wrong) goes by who caught the biggest fish. now is the FWC is trying reward the fish for getting so nice and big, or what? is there some ecology thing i’m missing here? if the fishing rodeo (there used to be such a thing kids, i swear) is not judged on size, what is the criteria, looks or aroma?
a crackhead fisherman, hmm…
