I'm not trying to guilt trip you. You're only entertaining the arguments that want and avoiding the others. It's not about the limits, it's about abusing the limits. You do realize that if you ate 4 fillets a week, you would only need to limit out four times a year? This is what makes the the 25 fish limit awesome. It's the people who stack the fish like cord wood in their chest freezers that need to reevaluate their practices.

Definitely eat more than 4 per week. that's a low number there. plus, I don't know anyone besides guides who actually go limit out every few days. we make trips and limit out 4-5 times a year specifically targeting trout. plus the inlaws get a lot of my fish because they don't fish.

we mainly target redfish, and usually only keep them under 20" at that, but if we run into a school of trout, i'll catch my limit there.
