There was an economist, maybe a bio of some sort, who was saying in the 60s that the ocean troll fisheries were biologically and economically stupid. Actually, that was what I learned in college; just wasn't a WA college.

I have a report from about 1920 where the head of WA Fisheries said the ocean fishing going on the outside the mouth of the Columbia was wasteful. Small fish, not as high quality as the adults, and so on.

Kinda dishearening what we know then, and didn't act on. How can it be changed?
