This is probably a fairly good assessment of the situation. Sometimes one just has to hold his/her nose a bit and do what it takes within reason to achieve the goal. I might add that WDFW should look at their financial position given that they are losing money the way this fishery is currently operated.

I will repeat that I have a problem paying recent market value for licenses even if they have dropped in value.

But if that commercial fishery could be closed out over a 5 year period for $250K total I would support it just to get it over and done with.
