I have no problem with a decrease in bag limit, if it will result in a longer season. Nobody can eat six crabs in a day, eating 4 would be pretty tough too. (The crab limit is very generous even at 4, unlike steamer clams, most people can eat 40 of those in a sitting).

Why even have commericial season in puget sound? It is clear the recreational crabbers can catch all of the non-tribal allocation in PS.

The tribes take half, the sporties should get the other half, based on economic arguements (ie a sports harvest crab brings the state a lot more money than a commercial crab).

Don't worry I know why there is a commercial season, legistative mandate for commerial fisheries, yadayadayada.
