Broodbuster makes the more salient point. The elections would go to whomever "buys" them, and recreational angling would come in dead last, just as it does now. I agree with Larry that there is no perfect system, unless I was named Fish Czar, of course, but the current format is likely among the best. We just need a governor who makes quality rather than political appointments, and a Senate Nat. Res. Comm. that timely confirms the appointments.

Meanwhile, we get the fishing we fight for.
