I agree with the limit. Down in Florida the whiting have no limits in size or possession and they taste better than yellow perch so all of the fishermen from the upper mid-west surf fish every day and keep everything and take home a hundred pounds of fillets for their fish fries, maybe more. I have seen a drop off in whiting catches in the past dozen years of fishing for them. Everything has a pressure point where it gets worse if there are not reasonable controls.
