Salmo G. I could not agree more...

Why can't WDFW recognize the poor compliance rate of the commercials as well as limit and re-set their season for later if it is closely monitored?

You might be able to answer this better than most. It is my understanding that in the Willipa study, gill nets were actually much more condusive to reducing fish mortality if they are used properly. They also allow more of the small fish to pass through unharmed. So why tangle nets? I'll guarantee that the commercials guys dont go to much trouble to save and revive a fish.

In my opnion it seems like sportsmen suffer much more monitoring than the commercials, am I off base on that?
