The reason I posted it here, is because the commercial fisheries are accusing the recreational angler of depleting the fishing resources, when in fact the bycatch last year on the pollock commercial fishery was over 120,000 king salmon. So the King Salmon fishery and the Halibut fishery are suffering do to the commercial fishing along the state of Alaska.
It needs to be known by the recreational angler that they are being accused of the depletion of fish, and that a few of us here in Alaska are trying to fight this. They are regulating the rec anglers but have not regulated the commercial fisherman anywhere near the number of limitations they have to rec angler.
