What Larry B said. I remember the days of being asked if I wanted the license with the $8.25 Puget Sound enhancement stamp or the one without. What have we learned from this? Nothing. Guys still think their money is going to go to specific programs that they like and that more money is the answer to the problem.

How has the Puget Sound crab endorsement been working out? It started as a voluntary fee of $3. It's original intent was to pay for more checkers and enforcement so that we could better account for the resource so sports guys could catch more crab. It's now just another fee that we asked for.

If it hasn't been made abundantly clear, politics drives our fisheries. If you want to spend a few extra dollars join PSA or CCA and give them your money to go fight for an equitable share of our public resources.
