  1. The divers put themselves on limit of 800lbs to improve the market. Overage was supposed to go to the state. No one was aware that if you had more than 10% over you would get a ticket. There was nothing about it in the news release. It was the first time this was done and apparently the first time fish and game has set a limit for market reasons in any fishery.
