To follow up on this-- I was looking for the context to see where it originated-- I typed John Kerry fisheries into Google, expecting results similar to typing in French military victories. I was surprised.

There are a lot of entries where Kerry and fisheries coincide. Most of them, and all of the ones I looked at, were about commercial fishing. Granted, I didn't do an exhaustive survey, but not once did I see Kerry and sportfishing in the same context.

Could Kerry be one of those Least Coasters who think all fish and meat come wrapped in plastic? Such consideration for commercial fishermen is why we currently have poor salmon seasons in Washington. I can't wait to see it on a national level.

If anyone can find a document where Kerry supports sport fishing and the rights of sportfishers, please let me know. I would love to read it.
