AHH I remember the days before the ban on Goliath. I was a kid in the 60's fishing with my Grandpop on a head boat in Ft. Myers They must have caught 20 plus of the big boys. I thought then... there was at least 2 or 3 other head boats going out that day. If they all caught this many, OK (Jewfish) they wont last long.
Then in the eighties.. Yea, I'm Getting old, My brother caught a 300 lb one.
You know what we did with it? We donated it the the church fish fry. (It was probably Lent)
So I am sure it was wrong to over-fish the big boys, But, lets open it up during Lent. One per boat limit. Let see what that does.
