Sounds like the commission is afraid to burn any bridges. I have a feeling its gonna have to get worse before it gets better. We can all do our part and continue to release the Nates. I think $$$$$$ played a role in this decision. Unfortunatley there are stil "fisherman" out there that have to keep everything they catch or they wont buy a liscence...

Flame: Keeping a fish for food is a crock. With the money you spend on gear and gas buy a damn pig! Pictures last longer, and so will your fishing...

All in all, we came out better than we were smile
