Right. Which is why Bob is saying shame on the ADF&G.

The Commissioner *is* ADF&G. So are the boards.

Oh well, at least when the fisheries collapse up North, Alaskanians won't have the tribes to blame it on like we do down here.

The tribes are a great scape goat. It's *always* the tribes fault.....

I'm guessing the WDFW or the ODFW would disagree with that last comment.

Sorry to mention it, but the fisheries up there are just as messed up. Just a lot more fish - that are rapidly being mismanaged and will eventually go away.
