Shifting our salmon rescorses to the sportsmen would undeniably be better for the states economy and the fish.I was surprised at last years sportmen show to see the wdfw documenting this and handing it out.

I am an ex comercial fishermen.I raped the Berring sea for ground fish for 8 years.The amount of money that was flying around was scary.32 million is a drop in the bucket when it comes to roe sale to Asia.

When you guys think of taking on the comercial interest her in washington you need to relise something.You are not simply taking on a few purse sieners.You are taking on the comercial fihing industry around the world!There coffers are bottomless.They have more than a lobbiest in olympia.

I am not trying to discourage you guys.I have already said that it is in the best interest of the state and the resource.

I unfortunately do not believe that the sportsmen can unite long enough to get it done.Hell you can't even get 50 of them to get along on a stupid BB.So saying that I would say that the first thing that needs to be done is the orginization of the sportys into a voice that has to be listened too.Untill then...no.
