Cupo -
a fairer comparison would be how many anglers catch and release 100 wild fish a year to the number catch and keep 5 per year - would not be surprised that they are not much different.

CnR only produces more recreation with less impacts if anglers are willing to fish in a CnR fishery. In the last 2 weeks ling cod adn halibut seasons opened in Puget Sound; if what you really beleive is true (CnR produces more fishing) then maybe we should be lobbying for CnR ling cod and halibut seasons -

Let's you and I begin a push for ling and halibut CnR year round - much longer seasons thus more fishing for two more great game fish. Or do you suppose that a few folks would have issues?

Jerry?
