About this episode

The episode explores the reasoning behind fish size restrictions and bag limits with insights from a fisheries biologist.

It’s highly likely that at some point there's been a size restriction or bag limit you disagreed with. But have you ever given any thought to why it was set that way in the first place? Veteran Vermont fisheries biologist Shawn Good gives us a peek behind the curtain on how and why states cook up the fishing laws we abide by. Hosted by Outdoor Life fishing editor Joe Cermele.
