The complication issue with the tribes is a reality across the board. I think the dept. has alot more clout than they use in the tribal area but they are the "don't rock the boat" club...except when it comes to sports fishers of course. They don't give a **** about us. If you scream too loud about something they will do the opposite just to spite you. Take the shrimp allocation issue last spring as a shinig example. Anything like fin clipping or C&R of wild fish pushes the tribes into a corner and they don't like it. They don't share your reverence for wild fish. to them they are just fish.....dollars and cents man..not some religious icon. that is BS
