What is it that you don't understand about the word "retention"

It's not that "commercials" can't catch them; it's just saying that they can't keep them!

Even some of the honest commercials admitted that they overharvested out in the ocean dragging for too many fish. Indiscriminate dragging at that. My best visual of this was at Neah Bay looking at the huge indian draggers with their huge nets coiled up on the spools...I got close to one in my boat and observed a TON of dead fish of all species wound up in the net. That would be some more of that annoying bycatch..I did see salmon and I'm sure there were many YellowEye and Canaries.....Lings etc...Just another good day on the REZ

CFM: Was it your intention to be rude and obnoxious, or is it just second nature to you?

On a lighter note, was that Rockfish or Rock fish?
