Default Fishery management

Got an email from a buddy who fishes Lake Powell in AZ.

It has always seemed to me that the Americans manage their fisheries much better than we do. Alaska salmon is an example and so is this.

"Striped bass went crazy around the end of April through May. My daughter and I caught about 70 pounds of striped bass in 2.5 hours and had to quit fishing because we ran out of room in the live wells. Large catches of striped bass were common for 2-4 pound size fish. There is no limit for striped bass and walleye on Lake Powell."

Big lake, lots of pressure and still seems like quality fishery.

Looks like the same thing with Pheasant management in the Dakotas.

Are the politics that different?
