i guess i'm the only guy on here that is old enough to remember NO limit, size or number, on specs. we used to load the ice chest with "cigar specs". so did everyone else. 25 fish per person is fine. the only ones that would want to see it reduced are the guides because it makes for a shorter workday for them and easier to say their customers caught their limit.

I remember those days well. Would come home with ice chests full of trout fillets. My family could eat fish for a year after one or two trips. Of course we made fewer trips also. Same number of fish taken a year as now, it just took fewer trips.
