I can tell you this...no scentific numbers no surveys really no factual knowledge here just this:

A buddy that is a deck hand for a Gillnetter has been out there almost every day for the past 3 weeks and smashing them! making $2 to 3 grand a week..himself...he called me the other night when they made a monster set which was 800 fish! and then called again a few hours later with a 750 set...

They are getting .78 cents a pound for these slime buckets... reason why?

the cannery is selling the ROE!!! for 5 to 10 times that per pound, even heard of 17 dollars from canery!

I never have been one to biatch about this kinda crap but...just another pure example of how the majority of WA state fisherys are miss managed and going down the drain. FAST
