Opinions on the matter? Personally, I think they should have let him keep it... Guy must be pretty bummed. He thought he was doing everything right.

I don't know how it is for commercial fishing but I do Alot of Tina fishing myself an I know your not allowed to keep fish bigger than 73 inches. Tht may not be the case for commercial fishing. I'm also pretty sure there a rule where you can only catch them rod and reel... Rules are rules and there there for a reason.
