I completely agree on the commercial comments.

There is a picture from the Peninsula Gateway a few years back that shows what the Gig Harbor commercial rowers used to catch off Pt. Defiance/Salmon Beach.

They were BIG Lings and furthermore the article talks about their secret bait which was "trout." They used blackmouth and caught them first as bait.

As a former commercial fisherman I can attest to the gross misuse of the resources, thats why I don't head to Alaska anymore to work.

Whats up with the attacks with the stupid accusations? If your gonna slam someone do it intelligently, not by showing your ignorance.

And no I wouldn't let a captain talk me into keeping that Ling so don't speak for me.
