I like the motivation, but I don't think it could work in practice. Government never seems to be able to effectively "crack down on commercial X but allow individual to do X". People are too crafty and corporations hire lots of lawyers. They will always find a way to follow the letter of the law and get around the spirit of the law. Suddenly, there's an army of "individuals with fishing rods that are totally not employees" who through a totally legit web of contractor relationships and transactions, all happen to deliver their fish to the commercial fish company for them to sell.
