Shark,

I look at it like this. WDFW says 100 fish can be "harvested" as excess. At the released fish mortality rate of let's say 5%, that allows us to fish until 2000 fish are landed under WSR regs. If the C&K regs are in effect, it allows us to fish until 100 fish are bonked.

Which scenario allows us to fish more?

Like I said, it's a no-brainer to me..........but to me, fishing is WAY more important than having a fish dinner.

If you don't see it that way, I can dig it. Maybe you can see where I'm coming from too.
