It's a BS excuse that the rules are to hard, you want to fish , learn the rules simple. Sizes can get tricky at times specially for fish you dont normally target but as has been stated before if you dont no put it back !!! I have done this before and am sure will do it again! Yes there alot to boating but it is you responsability to know where you can and cant fish ( especially these days) and how many and what size you can take and what you have to do the fish when you catch them( fin removable) There are no excuses imho!
