Yes, we are all in a fairly crappy boat taking on water from a myriad of leaks. I actually hope that at some point the agreement with WFC is ruled illegal and overturned. If the proper permits haven't been issued by then maybe WFC will sue NOAA.

One reality is that WDFW should have seen the rapidly approaching rock wall much sooner to put on the brakes and extend the MA 7 season. Maybe next year they will start out with a one fish limit.
