I guess I'm OK with the cutback in retention limits if the black rockfish really are being pressured more than they can handle.  I'm not so happy about axing the minimum length on ling cod.  Though, I guess, more people keeping the small ones will leave the bigger ones (that are more often females) to breed. 

Personally, I still probably won't keep a ling under 22" as even at that length they are almost not worth the effort to fillet.  Especially knowing the bigger ones are out there.
