That doesn't tell you anything...155 fish during trophy season??? 93 anglers and 262 total trips? I fish nearly 100 days a year some years...so this would be 2.5 of me and less of a lot of fishermen I know on this board...No statistician worth a $hit would even publish that because it presents no real information...just gives statistically irrelevant information that can be skewed whatever way special interest groups of any affiliation can wants...

I'm in total agreement Mark....statistically insignificant.....heck we caught almost as many fish as the whole survey that day you, Paul and myself went out.....and kept what? 2 that were deep hooked and probably wouldn't have survived anyway.
As much as I dislike the whole idea (and the Big Brotherization), maybe the Natl Saltwater Angler registry will be able to supply better data.
