I’ve never fished for Halibut and I don’t know anything but what I have read about this candidate. But let’s look at the bigger picture. We have a commission with several Sportsfishing guys already on it, including the chairman. We also have a communist Governor making the selection who tries to please everyone. If every sports fisher writes in with overwhelming support of this guy then I think the Governor is likely to choose another candidate with a different agenda.
Luckily, we have BobR who doesn’t know what he wants different but has started a entire hate and smear campaign on another site with a good following. This shows that recreational fishers are divided on the subject as Bob makes this guy sound like a conservationist and a easy choice for Inslee to make.
So when Croonquist is chosen be sure to thank Bob R!
