I have a feeling its coming.

As far as tagging goes. It helps determine movement patterns and growth.

I tend to agree with W in the min size increase. The fact that it takes the males longer to grow to that size is what is holding it back. The fear is that at 14", you'd be taking too many females out of the breeding stock.

Not going to happen......15 fish limit and 14" slot size. To many powerful guides that fish the East side to let this happen.

I'm all for it, Chas, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. We got some powerful politicians on this side of the state that love them 25-fish limits. A 14" size minimum would be alot more attainable, IMO.
