it is near break even cost wise now for the table fair you get out of it.
yes I like to catch fish for catching fish but I need to get a good portion of my money back in groceries going in the freezer or I just flat out cant afford it and 60% or fishermen are just like me.
I sure as hell would never pay for a charter to fish under the limits they are proposing

First of all it is about being a "Sportsman". If you expect to get your money back for fishing then be a guide. Fishing is a hobby to most people. Yea it is nice to boat a box full of fish but most people dont do that every trip they just like getting out on the water to pass a good time with family and friends. Also you will hate golf too because it gives nothing in return either.
