10 people 20 tuna not a bad bite….
Local PPB charter operator posted this on social media.

Is this any different to what commercial guys do per capital

In all honesty WGAF, unless your trying to stir the pot again and I have better things to do like go fishing, to be honest IDGAF about salt water, I pretty much only fish the fresh, they can take as many as they like

There's probably some figures out there for the proportion of the tuna caught to rec vs pro fishos.

Given the relative inaccessibility of the tuna fishery to a lot of anglers (compared to inshore species like snapper) I'd be surprised if the recreational take was more than the professional take.

I care about all habitats and populations of fish species irrespective if I target them or not

That’s sad I feel for your soul

Recreational catch of tuna is a very small fraction of commercial catch. Take your two and don't feel guilty.

I could say the same about your imaginary fish catches, you know, the ones without pictures

Australia southern Blue fin tuna quote for this year is 6000 tonne. The recreational catch was less than 300tonne for all of Australia
plenty on Info here: https://daff.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/clie ... 1032581/24
world wide there is a slow recovery of tuna stocks. Mostly thanks to finally getting most of the countries to sign up to a management deal.

In 2019, the CCSBT adopted a new management procedure (the Cape Town
Procedure) that aims to rebuild the southern bluefin tuna stock to 30% of its initial
unfished biomass by 2035, with 50% probability. This new management procedure
will be used to set the global total allowable catch (TAC) from 2021. The global TAC is
allocated to members and cooperating non-members, as agreed by the CCSBT under
the 2011 CCSBT Resolution on the Allocation of the Global Total Allowable Catch.
The Australian Fisheries Management Authority sets the TAC for the SBTF, with
reference to Australia's CCSBT allocation, using individual transferable quota (ITQ).

I think it is time to stop the attitude Seniorfisho.
