Guys: Please take the time to watch this crap spewed forth by some hippie biologist hired by your president. The Obama administration wants to decrease recreational quotas for red snapper. It appears that the recreational fisherman's demise is the only solution they can muster to the obvious endangerment of the Red Snapper. Commercial quota reduction is not even an option.

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) consists of 17 voting members: the Southeast Regional Administrator of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the directors of the five Gulf state marine resource management agencies (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida), and 11 members who are nominated by the state governors, and appointed by the United States Secretary of Commerce.

I dont see how our President really has any impact here but would point out that the original red snapper restrictions went into place in 2008 under a guy named GW Bush.

Is it true that when they do the fish counts, they don't count the fish around rigs and platforms?

Dont even get me freaking started but dont just blame this on Obama. It has been screwed up for a decade. It is a complete freaking joke. They have no idea what actual catch is, no idea all done with a few surveys.
