New hogfish regs in August 2017

[Jessica Anderson]

New Hogfish regs take affect 8/24/17- for us in South Florida

this puts a larger limit on the hogfish and now we can only keep one per day. Other areas including Georgia, North FL, Keys, etc are impacted as well.
read the regulations here: FB17-041 :: Southeast Regional Office

What are your thoughts?

This is a drastic change from what was allowed before. I agree with a change in the regulations since i have seen people bring up way too many in a single trip. But one per day is pretty light.
