Yes if the fish are "landed" in Washington. To be legally landed in Washington waters they must be legally caught. The only legal means after I-696passes will be by troll fishing with hook and line, the way it was done for many years befor the net fleet came to our waters and killed the fish to the point of extinction. To "land" fish in Washington waters you must fish by legal means and after I-696 passes the only legal means will be by hook and line. The catch will count for the 50% along with sports catch. When the net fishery is eliminated from Washington waters we as the fishing public must take the initative and have the model changed to maximize the escapement not the kill. This iss what we all want for the long haul. More fish to spawn not more to kill. The comercial fishers have been trying to keep the harvest at maximum, we need to think about the fish and try to reach maximum escapement. Get more fish on the reds. This will mean more fish for everyone. VOTE YES ON I-696.
