Well said.

( From what I've seen...PCB's have been cleaned up for the most part, It is illegal to dump them anymore, it will take a little time for the residual to work its way out of the system)

In a well-managed system, I think commercial fishing *can* exist harmoniously with the rest of the system. However, we have a terribly managed fishery system and commercial fishermen that think any regulation is too much regulation. Guys like above make the respectable R&R guys who care about preserving the resource for everyone's benefit look bad.

The fishery has already crashed once. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before it can't recover.
