I see a huge difference between any incidental tribal caught chinook and what this poacher did. This charcter clearly was out to intentionally rape the resource with little apparent concern about the resource.

The Skagit tribes have not targeted chinook in any of their commercial fisheries in years. Yes they do catch chinook incidentally in some of their fisheries (the pink fishery is particularly bad) however if you wish to end the take of incidental Skagit chinook in fisheries you need to expand your area of concerns.

By far the largest take of Skagit chinook occurs in BC waters (both trollers and sport fisheries). Anyone who supports those fisheries are supporting a larger take than what the tribes kill. The fact is the wild Skagit chinook are incidentally killed in every marine recreational salmon fishery in the State - should we close them all?
