I agree with you stlhead. A little discused and important fact is that the pinapeds [seals/sealions] that call Puget Sound
home, primary food source "was" the Pacific cod. Unfortunatly the "bottom draggers" have almost completely annihilated the population of this once amazingly abundant and noble fish, well guess what the pinnapeds secondary food source is ?....yep, you guessed it. The salmonids. I think I speak for most of us when I bring up the increasing frequency of seal marked salmon and steelhead that are landed, and the increased interactions between the pinapeds and fisherman with hooked fish. This is the dominoe theory in action, and you can thank the heinous, no, criminal overharvest of the Pacific cod by the "bottom draggers".
