Your words above.... Those Comm guys arent complaining about the lack of fish, niether are the goons...

Yea, I do not like those things I listed. They are no good. Just don't lump everybody into the same category. Im a rec fishermen but I haven't kept or killed a fish in years.
Again, they need to be managed better. Com licenses need to go only to com fishermen, not weekend warriors.

I understand how you feel....You be the judge of whats good and No good.... They are your fish, how dare those googans and rod reel com guys!!!! You obviously can go out to fish for pleasure, catch and release, and afford to do it, Private plane to Block, Cutty, MV?????? Many rec guys do like to bring something home for the table to eat. Its nice of you to dictate who is deserving of a license... I enjoyed having my mass com license selling 600-900lbs a day in 3 hours 3 days a week it was stupid easy... Let the weekenders have 5 fish on Sundays to themselves, maybe they should get rid of sundays??? You see how happy I am releasing fish in my avatar????

Bottomline here is money.... So when you go to our illustrious statehouse, see if you can figure out where the casino industry's $11.4 million in lobbying money went. Not trying to discourage folks from attending, but you should know the reality of how things work up there. I'll bet the minutes of the meeting could be typed up today. They know which way it is going to go.....
