Very good question SQ. If according to Salmo whom I would choose to believe, they're using the 33% figure then the estimates are out of orbit. I have easily experience a 6 or more to 1 ratio of shakers vs keepers this past winter during the months of November in area 9 and in Area 10 during late December and early January. I would also agree with your assessment that the commercial troll mortality of these undersize fish is probably over 80%. This is outrageous. But once again the "Co-Managers" are doing their best to sustain the fishery. Yea right.
