Or take on a life of college. Thats what community outreach progams and rehabs are for. That is the ultimate rational for continuing harvest. Recreational fishing will also keep one away from drugs. We should save our communities and abolish all comercial harvest to increase angler opportunity. Drug free's the way to be, lets go fishing and get sober. thumbs
