Based on NMFS's stock assessment, a 4 day season would have led to overfishing. The method they use to determine what poundage constitutes a good quota has been the issue for a decade now. They claimed recreational exceeded quota during a 9 day season that averaged 8 foot seas a couple years ago. They dictate what constitutes overfishing based on who is willing to send lawyers to annoy the piss out of them.

yea but didnt LAWF' assessment say the 42 day season was on track based on poundage as the season went on?

I remember reading a report in late August saying only 65% or some number has been caught of the allotment and there were only a handfull of days left.

the NMFS assessment is plain wrong and designed to say the fishery is over fished no matter how long the season is open.

NMFS says LDWF counts wrong, LDWF says NMFS counts wrong. Headlines are written, lawsuits are filed, a divided recreational community argues over who has the bigger dick, Buddy Guidon's lawyers cash checks and bend the Feds over in court. Rinse, repeat.
