Smalma is spot on. It has been well known for close to 50 years that the ocean mixed stock fisheres, whether commercial troll or sport are biologically the worst thing for the fish as you have no idea what you are catching. And you are catching immature fish before they have maximum age and growth. Remeber the rumors of 100 pound Elwha Chinook? Even with the dams out they won't come back as long as the ocean fisheries are in plcae.

They are also environmentally stupid. Why chase a fish, or any resource, when you know where it is coming back to? There are much better uses for all that fossil fuel than chasing fish in the ocean.

The cleanest fishery is one where you absolutely know the stock composition every day of the fishery. And that is in the rivers and bays.
