Flounderman is right. Those numbers are inaccurate, since they are based on the number of trip tickets, which we all know is a subset of the total trips. Moreover, fishermen do not report turtle interactions.
As for recreational data, it is measured and calculated much differently, as it should be. Using hard quotas in waves may work for commercial fishing, but it is completely inappropriate for recreational fishing.
At least with the recreational side of things, attempts are being made to improve the data collection, as well as how its used. Recreational fishermen are embracing better data, not obfuscating it.

How about largemouth bass? Is there a market for those?
How about Sturgeon?

Those trip tickets just assume everybody is fishing maximum yards allowed,which we all know not every gillnetter sets the maximum allowed yardage.  Now if you go by observer Data you would see that not everyone fishes the maximum yardage.

You hardly ever see Large Mouth bass in 1ft to 2ft of water you know this already  Not very many blue dots you notice where they are don't you? Not any gillnets being fished that far up nice try though

Not following you logic on that one at all. Every black dot is a large mesh observation.

It's the truth i would like to see how they got the most fished areas peppered with observed catches of Sturgeon.Me and another guy are the only ones fishing those areas and neither 1 of us has ever been observed catching a sturgeon.This chart is total BULLSNOT all the way around.

I’ve never been observed catching 4 upper slot drum on consecutive casts with my favorite spook. It sure was fun.
