Sooooooo many fish will get beat to **** from Folks netting to measure them. Don’t see how mortality can’t possibly be higher with the 80cm max than if they had made it 1 a day. I guess they figured that it has worked so well down south end that expanding it will fix everything. What a joke!
Sad part is that in a year or three this will seem like the good old days.
My heart goes out to all the charter businesses.
At lest for some people they get a slot Vancouver’s closed till sept 1.
80cm fish is 17ish from what I remember I would take that.
I get that it's frustrating but please do not net fish to measure them. Be a good sportsman. Mark a stick so you can quickly measure length in the water and release in the water if required. Please do not net fish you cannot keep. That will only increase the risk of unintended fish mortality.Sooooooo many fish will get beat to **** from Folks netting to measure them.

So is netting a fish quickly in a wet net harder on the fish than playing it to exhaustion so it can be handled at the side of the boat? I personally play fish hard, bend the rod, get it done with, if the fish will let me unhook it, it will be done, but I won't play yo yo just so I can yippee at the sound of my reel.
