one fish UNDER 50cm makes more sense than 1 fish OVER 50cm for lakes like south buck, for example.
That would mean any that escape getting eaten are protected at once 50.

There was a 43cm and over limit for years and finally the fish between 43 and 50 were mostly gone. They have a limit of 50cm and over but there are very few if any of that size left, so they are letting a few 50's get caught while they let hundreds/thousands grow to spawning size.
