Sure there is a reason.
1. Placing a special limit on Burbot brings about awareness. If there was no limit on Burbot, how many of us would be discussing Burbot on these forums? Seems like the 20 fish limit is working VERY well -- 'cause we're all talking about them.
2. Wyoming has a limit because Burbot are a sport fish in Wyoming. Since Wyoming and Utah share FG, Utah tried to keep the regulations very similar to Wyoming -- thus to avoid confusion. So, Utah adopted the same limit structure as FG.
Why is this such a big deal? How many people have gone to FG and caught 15 Burbot? How many have acutally caught 20? If someone does catch that many, do you really seriously think a CO would ticket you for having 26? I don't.
I just don't get the big deal over this non-issue.
