That's some exciting news for the wild fish...................

So, logic would say that when CCA forces the Non-Tribal commercial fisherman to seine nets, they essentially would be able to fish the entire springer season? I'm not into doing the math right now but 1% is a double edge sword....

No, keith its not a double edged sword. Its an irrelevant number.

Now, that the state sees that commercial netters and tribal netters are NOT REQUIRED TO KILL WILD FISH, IN ORDER TO CATCH THEIR QUOTA, the number becomes irrelevant. The state can therefore use a completely different criteria to determine the quota.
