As an avid scuba diver who has logged many a dive at Seacrest, I was really disappointed to hear that 4 six-gill sharks were harvested off of the pier. The sharks were a great attraction at Seacrest, and I will really miss them. Seeing how there were really only 4-5 sharks there, it now seems some thoughtless person has effectively wiped our the shark population at Seacrest. As a fisherman, I'm also sad to see that there are just down-right stupid people out there that obviously have no clue.

Thanks a bunch, guys. While you are at it, why not just fish out all the wild steelhead and salmon too. Obviously you don't give a crap about anything or anyone else besides you. Hope you choke to death on some shark meat!

PS. The WDFW heard our complains (our being the local diving community). Harvesting six-gills is now ILLEGAL. Divers as well as local WDWF Enforcement agents are now watching the pier and the fisherman now.

Here's the official WDWF notice on the closure:

If it's Native, Let it Go. If there are only 4 of them and they take a long time to grow and mature, Don't Fish For Them!
