Yeah, the sheer preposterousness of species like largemouth bass being affected because a deal couldn't be made at NOF adds credence to the argument that the system be broke. And will hopefully spur more average anglers to call for some common sense to be applied to policy.

I am quite surprised by this development. I am still behind WDFW, but I understand rojoband's position. It would have been good to know the full stakes earlier in the process. It probably wouldn't have changed my support for WDFW, it would just have been good to know.

On the other hand, things have been unfolding quite quickly and we're encountering new situations seemingly every day, so I guess we gotta roll with it.
