Doesn't the lost opportunity have a value?

And where is the dis-incentive for others?

No, got to be more than "O'K, you caught me. I'll fix it now."



Given that there have been an average of over 750,000 fishing licenses sold in the state of WA every year since 1971....
and let's say 33% of these license holders would have used this access 10 times/year, and a reasonable fee for use of $5.00...... That would be 250,000 people that need to be paid $ 50.00 .......... $ 10,250,000 times 43 years...... let's see.....carry the one.... that would be a TOTAL AMOUNT OWED TO WDFW of ...... $ 530,750,000.00 (before interest and late fees). That sounds reasonable, right? We take cash, cashier's check, or PayPal..... How would you like to pay for that today?
