Crabbing in Puget Sound got mega popular a few years back because of the size of the crab. Washingtonians and the sovereign nationals both over fished the hell out of them.
An endless sea of pots.

A- No one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WDFW's management model is reactionary.
There is zero prevention until it's too late.

Once again our state sets the ignorance bar.

In other words, I agree. It really is simple.
