Killing baby Mako's

Why do the charter boats out of Oregon Inlet insist on killing these baby Mako's?
Come on guy's give it a #$%^&* rest. If you keep killing the pups we'll never get an big ones.

Define PUP. Not sure taking the breeders and leaving the little ones (most of which wont make breeding size) is a good consevation method. I have to admit I dont like seeing a 4' mako on the cleaning table but what is best for the fishery ?

size limit

The size limit should be at least 68" that is the size of a breeder.
I know some people have the mentality that you should not kill breeders.
My theory is you need to let them breed at least once.
By the way this is dstriper I'm on tunachasers computer.
