I have a camp in Cypremort Point on Vermillion Bay and I agree with everything you have said about the numbers, but the 16 in trout are becoming harder to come by these days. I like the idea of 14 inches because you 16 inch trout are just too few are far between to make a trip and bring back enough meat for our family.

Texas far outpaces the scientific research done in Louisiana. Studies in Tx have shown that trout become much more fertile at 13-14 in. Possibly increasing the size by an inch or two and lowering the overall take by a moderate percentage will yield a better quality fishery.

AL, MS, and TX have all dedicated a lot of resources to scientific research of popular recreational and commercial fish species. Louisiana is a far distant 4th.

Go look at GCCRL, The Harte Institute, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, etc... Is there anything remotely like this in Louisiana??
