The Black Drum data is awesome. If we could only get those cove fisherman to do the same.

Thanks as always for posting. Looking forward to the top 20s!

I wonder if "upping" the weight requirement and keeping the length for release the same would affect the numbers on some species?

Thanks for the info Rob. With the lack of accurate data in fisheries management, it seems the VSFT provides some very useful data.
