My fisheries professor always explained it in a way that made sense to me... Every body of water is unique and has the ability to produce "X" lbs of fish per acre. 500lbs of fish is still 500lbs of fish, no matter if it is made up of big ones, little ones or a good mix of big, medium and little ones...
Higher bag limits will hopefully lead to higher harvest rates, which will hopefully leave fewer fish in the system that are left to consume the finite food source, which will hopefully lead to larger fish with better growth rates.
