After attending the hearing with Chris, Jeff, Mike amd Bob this is my outlook.

Size limits will not change for the 09 season

retention limits could change

There will be very little if any help from The Feds in the tuna fishermens efforts to retain the US quota.

There is going to be a new effort to organize a more poweful group of tuna fishermen to lobby and protect us.

A little concerning was a commercial guy pushing for (1) fish per week for the Angler catagory. This is hypocritical to our effort to retain the qouta and seemed a little out of place at the hearing.
