In all actuality, I seriously doubt recreational fisherman taking a legal spotty here and there will impact their population. I think an increase in natural predators and funky weather patterns is more to blame for the rough fishing. I had spotty one time. When a fish I caught wasn't going to make it. I didn't like it at all. Tasted like mud in my opinion. But I also don't like tilapia or catfish and there are people that love it. To each their own.
