Hey, I'm with you there, Jim. But for some reason we can't seem to get the ones that matter to understand or care. It's been known for years that a sport caught fish is vastly more beneficial to the local economy versus a net caught fish. Why doesn't the state see that? Why can't the legislators look north and realize that we could draw just as much tourism, if not more, with world-class fisheries as Canada and Alaska does if managed correctly?

I wish I had an answer.
