    Tuna Regs from 1995

    Thought this was a timely coincidence.

    Looking through an old photo album at my mom's tonight and she happened to have a Coastal Fisherman from 1995 folded in it.

    Dale Timmons' editorial was about a recent meeting held to propose the tuna regs for the summer. this was what was proposed at the time.

    BFT 22" to 73" (2) per man on the boat.

    YFT 22" min (10) per man on the boat

    Bigeye 22" min no creel limit.

    Amazing how much things change in 15 years.....

    Franky:

    It was the good old days. Sad i'd say, but maybe we can get back there some day.

    Really can't wait for the weekend. See you Friday night.

    It is pretty amazing how 15 years change has affected the fisheries. Sad
