Giving up and surrendering? Look I love this sport as much as anybody and would give a nut to save the fishery. But the fact of the matter is the MLPA doesn't really care what you have to say, they don't see the general fisherman you'd find on the board. Where are you more likely to find an MLPA activist, on a kayak next to you, or walking along a pier seeing buckets full of short fish? Nobody's giving up anything. But the fact is that its a fight that should have never started to begin with and could have been avoided by a little more responsibility in the beginning. The best solution isn't shutting down our fisheries, just find a better way to make sure the general rule of marine cxonservation becomes an enforced law. Point is, you aren't the MLPA's target, just one of its unluckiest victims.
That's my MLPA rant at least, the rest of this is just a bunch of boredom BS.
