Still don't see it your way but why don't we all keep fishing until they're gone and then see how much trickles down. It seems to me you're just assuming that once they're listed there won't be any recreational fishing. To me that's the same as not going fishing because you're assuming you won't catch anything.

I'll concede that all in all our fisheries management sucks and it's mixed in with anti-fishing advocates with a totally different agenda but that doesn't mean something shouldn't be done. Doing nothing doesn't work and closing our fisheries doesn't work but we ought to be doing something in between. If not we'll all keep doing what we're doing until there's nothing left.
