The barracuda law is even a bigger pile of shit.. They just added a slot limit for barracuda, but allow one over slot fish for "trophy fishing". Why on earth would you allow people to kill a fish just for trophy purposes if the fish stock is in such danger??? Let alone when you won't let people kill them to sell for food purposes..
