Hey poo poo head, just kidding. Enjoy reading your posts, your obviously concerned about these matters. Don`t agree with alot you say but it`s an internet debate right? I will NEVER hug a gillnetter! Shake their hand though, and have. I appreciate the fact that their fathers and grand fathers were instrumental in ending seining, weirs, and fish wheels on the Columbia river, this may be the reason why we`re still fishing the Columbia today. I`d also like to thank them for fighting against the re-introduction of these methods in modern times. I can only hope that their way of life can continue and be profitable in the safe areas. Bill
