I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY... LET THEM ALL GO!!!!!!!!!!!.. People would rather come to catch and release 10 fish a day as apposed to 1 to eat.... Lots more $ in sportsfishing than there ever thought about being in commercial fishing...Living here on the OP I see things that you may not and may never... there are Still guys that are killing these fish... they do need to figure it out!!! You have to remember 1 Indian fisherman can catch and kill in 1 day more than 50 of the best guides in the area.... Water conditions do not matter to a drift net!!!!.. and have 30 guys doing that everyday..... that is the spotscatch and native catch difference!!!.. Numbers are fudged badly to make it all look good on paper.. Proven Fact!!! the 4700 ecscapement... You should prob cut that in half.... the tribe made those numbers as THEY are the ones doing all of the spawner surveys... THey cant tell the difference between a RED or an Elk track!!! You talk about the Random guy buying it off the beach.. well try again!!! A red Ford Pickup with 2 totes in the back sitting at Richwine bar every day!!!! those fish are not taken to the fish house.... He trucks them himself avoiding the middle man... 4 or 5 tribal guys catch them and load them there,hundreds of fish a week... everybody sees it and knows about it!!!! the plunkers that are fishing all day for 1 bite!!! get smoked by a 20 driftnets coming by them all day long....it is like that for 3 miles of river.... As far as the whiteman being to blame, yeah !!!! the percentage is really minimal....remember 50-50%...well 90-10% is more like it... again, water conditions are the big thing here... So many unfishable days for the whiteman.... NONE for the tribes!!!!. the tribes have a right to fish( it is their heritage). BS!!. Not pillage the resource and blame it on the state for the lack of fish!!! It used to be a food source!! that has been gone for over 30 years now!!! its all about the $$$$$.. the only people in this state that have any money are the tribes if you havent noticed!!!!.. SO QUIT PROTECTING THEM!!!!
