I appreciate the comment Bilsant.
I think these suckers are different and the legislature and Fish & Game might need a while to figure it out.
I know that we will be smarter than too many of the idiots running some of the marine parks down in the Carribean in the we are asking people to blast these things. Too many of those ignorant savages with a politically appointed job and absolutely no bio-education are freaked out in some places that some people might want to carry a barbless piece of steel about 1/8" in diameter and 24" long as we will undoubtedly be killing the 54 pound grouper with them.
As far as the taxing and whatnot, it will be so minimal that it is unworthy of the effort.
They are here to staty in my opinion.
Even if someone does release it, it will be in a canal somewhere, not a boat.
As an aside, some folks reading this thread may not realize that the most humane method to dispose of an unwanted/sick/whatever tropical fish is to just drop it into a pot of boiling water. The larger the better on the pot.
They die instantly.
It would be like one of us being teleported into the heart of the sun.
I learned this from a well respected person in the tropical fish industry.

Thinks his old Sherwood Avid BCD looks so much cooler with a nice new Seaquest power inflator.
