The only change I would support is making it C&R or perhaps a slot from 70-75.

Lowering the size from 75 down to 70 probably wouldn't hurt too much but without a slot it would just mean smaller fish on average. With a 70-75 cm slot it would be a bit easier to catch a keeper and there would be a lot more 15-20+ lb fish too.
And I'll add single barbless hook to your C&R and/or slot recommendation too, both of which I agree with completely.
