Models are used increasingly to predict the efficacy of sport‐fishery management actions. With model use may come model misuse. Appropriate use of models starts with a fundamental and holistic approach, presents uncertainty and model assumptions, and appropriately weighs model output with basic biological and sociological information in the decision‐making process. In addition, understanding human behavior as it relates to angling, and incorporating this knowledge into models, will improve chances of successful sport‐fish management.
