    Wow, we've a Snapper Lottery but no State Lottery?

    Still not going Snapper fishing with current creel limits, not enough return for time/money.
    !#*& the Feds.

    Die if you must, but die on your home turf with your face to the wind, not in some stinking hellhole 2,000 kilometers away, among people you neither know nor care about.

    Dr. Drymon said the team took great care in devising this program to ensure that the tag returns would provide the best possible estimates of recreational fishing mortality. - See more at: High Dollar Red Snapper Tagging Program announced ? Dauphin Island Sea Lab
    There is absolutely no way to differentiate what percentage of the fish have died and what percentage refuse to be caught again during the timeframe of this study. It looks like a waste of time and money to me.

    The same flawed scientific methods, that brought you Global Warming, will deliver even more snapper regulations. I'm with Chile in saying, !#*& the Feds.

    Really! Releasing 750 fish and then see how many are caught and returned is that right? The sample to small to have any accuracy. #@#@@ Feds and at one time I worked at Sea Lab in Dauphin island. Stupidy
