Of course you're right, Carcassman. My faith in humanity's sense of restraint is as dark as they come. In principle, I agree that the whole thing is headed down the crapper eventually (maybe soon), for all the reasons you mentioned, but if there's even a remote chance we can get AK to lay off our fish (which I doubt), it could prolong their demise significantly and give us better fishing in the meantime. Besides, if anyone's going to drive WA salmon to extinction, by right, it should be Washingtonians.

Yeah, I'm ashamed I wrote that last bit....
