Right, they won't call it a cap which is fine. They'll keep bumping the limit until you hit their number. Personally I think if you are going to call it trophy season it should really be trophy season and a fish over 43-45" and you get one tag to use per year. The watermen will never let that happen though and we'll end up with a moritorium again.
I rarely heard of a 32" caught last season EVERYTHING was over 33" and kept. Hell I even scored from a kayak on several trips taking home a keeper 75% of the time. This fall, not too many 33-40" fish caught huh, wonder why?
At least the real bigguns will be out of the bay by the time the season starts this year. That's why I'll be running C&R kayak trips the first 2 weeks of April. Gonna get my 50+, the measurements and send her on her way to make more schoolies.
