I’m not talking about just catch and release. LA is far behind when it comes to water quality, trash in the marsh, taking care of public ramps, commercial fishing regs, and basically anything else you could think of. Catch and release is just a small but helpful part of that.

yet we ignore the elephant in the room, our rapidly and exponentially degrading habitat and the impact this has on all of our fisheries. bass fishing, sac au lait fishing and even catfishing is exponentially better than when I was a youngster(started fishing 1973). yet specks, reds and flounders are in fact declining. conservation works - 1973 in some parishes you would make the news if you saw a deer much less killed one - where deer are common now.
