I'm not saying they all need to be culled, I'm saying they obviously need to be thinned out. The resident population has increased dramatically and they have no predator in the Columbia, or near it's mouth for that matter. I understand well that squawfish aren't protected and sealions are, but their numbers are at record highs and even the gamey's I know would like to see them thinned out. I personally believe they must be managed like many other species and I for one would enjoy immensely the opportunity to legally pop a few for a pittance. Then I'd like to move on to the Terns that are becoming resident on the islands in the Columbia and pushing out the nesting Geese and gorging themselves on smolts.
