Do you think you are telling any of us anything new, man? You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder about somethin. We know that habitat is being destoyed, we know hatcheries are bad,we know about catch and release mortality. I think maybe you should look at what people here are saying a little closer. We want healthy fish runs in this state. And yes we also want to fish for them.This is what we do for enjoyment. We are attempting to find a balance.Find a balance even tho we know that our mere existence on this planet is not only detrimental to fish but to countless other things in nature. I dont know what you do for enjoyment. But i guarantee you it hurts something in nature somewhere.Somewhere, somehow between getting off our asses and restoring habitat,clamping down on logging and commercial fishing among other things, and practicing catch and release, alot of us are looking for an answer. Go ahead and shut down sportfishing, think that is going to save fish? We are among the only people who know or care about the fish (besides green freaks) Chuck
