By now, Congress must be aware that there is a LOT more economic benifit to sport fishibg vs. Commercial. I think the problem is twofold: first, that the jobs and livelihoods argument works both ways, and second, that congessional campaigns benefit more from commercial lobbying than recreational. The economic value of commercial fishing may be a lot less, but it's far from insignificant. I think it's safe to say that both are examples of industries that are "too big to fail." If we sporties really want to gain ground in this deal, we're going to have to start out-contributing the commercials. That sounds difficult, but the reality is that we could easily do it if we could get organized in support of the same agenda. Oops. I guess that's a third problem....
