Pure and utter BS.... BUT....

"Long term" and "continuing trends" may be the weasel words that make the statement true.

Any gawdam fool knows the PNW kings of today are hella'smaller than their historic size. How does any thinking man doubt the evidence of his own eyes. And it's not just Puget Sound. It's everywhere!

Perhaps because the fish have become so small that they can't possibly get any smaller without crashing the entire population. Mebbe that's the basis for their warped thinking.

Or they're simply just liars.
