I dont see it as being wrong, it's more how you want to fix it. WSR sounds great to C&R fishermen. It doesnt affect you your ability to fish. To almost everybody else this is like paying your power bill , but not the house payment. WSR will not accomplish the desired result. And in fact, has weakened the sportsfishing voice as a whole. Sometimes it sounds like you C&R guys wont be happy untill all fish are produced naturally, and protected by a C&R policy. That doesnt do much for anyone but you. Just so you can play with the fishy's. Focus on the real problems facing all fish. The obvious monitarily motivated decisions made by the managers of our resource. I would rather put my efforts into exposing the exploitation. IMO, more people would support an effort to change the commercial mandate, as it would have more of a positive affect on the problem than WSR.
