a dead fish is a dead fish whether caught on the end of a troll line in the ocean, caught in a gillnet or caught on a hook.

That is a true statement, but how contrary to say this when I fish with one hook compared to hundreds of feet of gillnet. How many fish at one time can a net kill compared to my "ONE" hook?. To compare the two is like saying that the WDFW is studying the situation to make things equitable, or like saying that G.W. is part of the intelligence community. It does sound like you are making an equal comparison between the two and that dog just won't hunt, not here.
