Bob, do you think that this "blood bath" has been brought on because of the big push by WSC to close down the take fishery? Maybe they are doing more harm then good by trying to make up the minds of other fishers for them. If this moratorium is rescinded or reversed through litigation, will it bring even more of the kind of fishermen who want to harvest his catch to the local areas? What's your opinion?

So what was the score when it was all said and done? Was there more business generated from those kill fishery guys, or was there more business generated from the c&r fishermen? Which user group left the most money locally?

If there was 150 wild fish taken, it sure would appear that WSR isn't as popular has many may think that it is. Maybe that's why Forks is taking the position that they have.

That many wild fish being taken almost sounds like the people were sending a message to someone. It's really to bad that all of those wild fish had to be the ones who carried the "message" if that was the case.
