Mr sluggo...
Take a few unrelated statistics and somehow rationalize them together to draw the conclusion that sport fishermen are killing the runs off and commercials are saving the world. What a crock. If you were to take a look at the commercial vs. the sports catch over the past 100 years I bet the commercial catch would be 100 more than the sports catch. It's only a matter of time until the US govt. comes up to the same conclusion as in British Columbia....the best salmon is a sport caught salmon!
