Nailed it C-M!!!

Answering your last anecdotal question; Jealousy, greed(y), “hoping the spouse will change their way($) so they can again be a part of a harmonious relationship?

The “sports” are totally phucked in this State, and will continue to be as long as we take our “orders”(seasons/quotas/modeling/data/Esa Permits) from the Tribes. Sure there’s other variables that influence like Fed Spec Permit language in regards to hatchery operation (for raising/releasing hatchery fish), FW Commission (and their lackluster track record), WDFW’s lack of leadership in dealing with the continued topic of NOT having our own Permit from NMFS to eliminate having to cow-tow to the Tribes during the NoF. Might as well just give the “co-management” the keys to the entire state. Reminds me of the current landlord/tenant issues in Wa. The tenant has more rights, even when they’re not paying rent, and now there’s another push to extend the deadline to live in the rental even longer without paying. Sorry for sideways rant....
