I think what Jim was saying is on the grand scheme of things, that’s not much coverage. I do have a boat, and have not had much luck catching pups. I haven’t targeted them a ton, but when I have, no luck. Macs are just hard to catch in my opinion. I haven’t even caught many while fishing for kokes. Ultimately, if the problem is as bad as they are saying, the only way to solve it, is to remove the law of wanton waste on the size they want gone- and do it quickly, seems simple. I’ve always respected this fish and would have a hard time with sinking one to the bottom, but I could do it if it helped. Better the crawdads eat it than me. Macs are my favorite fish to pursue and least favorite to eat. I’m with Jim, I eat fish 3-4 times a week- just can’t gut trout and I grew up on it.
