Saying that if comm. fishing is outlawed, then there will be unharvested fish is a load of B.S. Many hatcheries in N.W. Washington struggle to get their quota. Many seasons close very early due to commercial overfishing. The Skagit is a good example of this. I would put my life on the line to speculate that if commercial fishing was banned in the PNW then sporties would be more than glad to step in and harvest a few extra fish. The hunting and fishing industry is huge, just not very many politicians realize it. Before everyone from out-of-state didn't want to hunt elk in Idaho anymore, hunting and fishing was estimated at almost 1 billion bucks a year, just in Idaho. Compare that to other industries and see how things stack up.
