I have a legitimate concern that many large non-trout species are going to be over harvested. [/quote]
No you don't.
Look, you obviously do not understand fisheries management -- and you're not alone, if that makes you feel any better.
Overharvest is an easy thing to fix. If overharvest actually does become a problem, then we simply modify the regulations to accomodate those issues and then stock more fish to make up for the loss. That's easy.
What's hard is fixing underharvest (or, rather overpopulations). That's what the problem is.
If overharvest actually does become a problem, then we can fix that really easy. I honestly don't see much changing with current angler harvest. But if a few people actually join your club, then I feel like some of our fisheries may actually increase in quality -- so, if you find a loophole and figure you can make some extra money, then I say: go for it!
