Guess I'm missing your question, Brushbears numbers appear to be all Washington releases so with out Canadian and Alaskan catch numbers hard to tell what was being intercepted at that time. Washington did a buyout on nontribal commercial permits, PS, Coastal and Columbia river, reducing there numbers by something like 80% in the eighty's I believe. Which was reallocated to tribal fisheries, Oregon and California haven't. Alaska has been moving there season's to more inside area's were there not impacting lower 48 stocks as much, but they kinda got overrun by out of work lower 48 trollers who snapped up there loose permits. Trying to find an article I read by a POed Alaskan manager.
