    Wondering what the 'Selective Fishing' is supposed to achieve

    Yes they are definitely worth getting behind. A lot of industry leaders including guides/tackle manufacturers/lodges etc are involved.

    The selective fishing they may be referring to is retention of clipped fish I would think but it could be something else. All of our local fishing in the southern Georgia Strait was catch and release whether the fish was clipped or not for the bulk of the spring/summer.
