A short report.

The crab meeting in Olympia at the Natural Resource Building room was packed Saturday. No surprises, the commercial crowd showed up along with a good showing of sports. Even though it is nice to have a good showing of sportsmen, it is always good to see more, and yesterday would have been that day. Even though I believe that all the topics that the sportsmen wanted out on the table were brought up. The commercials tried to paint the picture that 6% of crab allocated to the sport crabbers in the state of WA is a huge number. I stated to the commission if you think that 6 % is a huge number then what do you think the sportsmen think when 94% of the crab is allocated and commercially caught in state of WA.

The sky is falling was a repetitive theme of the commercials.
