At a recent WDFW commission meeting a couple of the commissioners made a pre-emptive strike in anticipation of public testimony from the assembled crowd. The members of the commission essentially said that they do not make decisions based on economics. So no matter how much the sports fisherman spends on fishing and no matter how much more money sports fishing brings in to the state than the commercials do, the commission is MANDATED BY STATE LAW to ignore all of the economic data and support commercial netting.
