Well said Todd!

Its so true about the non fishing community looking at us as a bunch of GREEDY sportsmen. Thats why we failed to pass I-695. To defeat your opponent(commercial) you have to get inside their heads and beat them at their own game!
Alot of people saw the possibility of job loss and totally slammed the ballot. If we would have had something that said, "lost commercial jobs will be compensated for" then we would have won it.
