I guess im not clear on the logic behind that. If the sole purpose behind that is to provide added revenue for the fish/game funding, the smart money would be to go after a more popular game fish, like bass. Some of these weekend tourneys that happen from early spring well into winter would generate tens of thousands of dollars a year based on the per person per year @ $50-$100.
In no way am i suggesting that for all you bass guys, but if revenue is the main goal from that suggestion, i would think it makes sense to go after a money making species. And now that TWRA has listened to the bass community and have a more widespread florida strain stocking plan in place, that just makes more sense.
just my 2 cents worth.
