It's all a huge joke. "Mixed stock" fisheries where we catch and release fish STILL ALIVE are taking a back seat to catch and kill net fisheries where "impacts" are in the form of fish dead on the boat floor.

If our "mixed stock" fisheries didn't have such low incidental mortality to wild fish the net fisheries wouldn't even be able to occur as their "impact" levels are vastly too high.


We are able to effectively fish selectively AND keep our ESA impacts at around 30%, but WE are the ones who should be staying home?

Get a fvcking clue WDFW it's time to go to court.
