Thanks Bushbear; there it is in all its ugly glory.

The more I read this the more frustrated I become with the dual standards.

If this is the standard for suspense of a commercial license:

The legislature intends for the license suspension review committee to give serious considerations to the case-specific facts and scenarios leading up to a violation, and for license suspensions to issue only when the facts indicate a willful act that undermines the conservation of fish stocks. Frivolous violations should not result in the suspension of privileges, and should be punished only by the criminal sanctions attached to the underlying crime.

Then why aren't recreational fishers given the same consideration?

Or, more appropriately, why aren't commercial fishermen held to the same standard as the recs??? After all, they are the "professionals" with vast knowledge and vested interest in maintaining a viable resource. Right?
