Sorry bud, I am not offended in any way, simply because I don't paint people with a single brush stroke. I know that it is all people living on this planet, the one we all call earth - that in one form or another we all carry the weight of survival while living here together. You can't blame DFO, any one of the fishing sectors, the whales or the pinnipeds for the crash of certain fish stocks. We are all participants in the harvest game, we all carry an impact. There certainly are narrow individualized areas of troubling concern within each sector, whether in sport participation growth and others, commercial under reporting with some like Super Trawlers, pinnipeds in rivers, lakes and estuaries gorging on returning stocks, or what seems like unaccountable in-river fisheries on some systems throughout BC. Every single fisher in every single sector counts toward the offset end result of annual fish harvesting.
One thing is for certain, we can't control mother nature or her cycles, or mass extinctions of plant, insect, animal or even fish die-off's. What we can do, is stop finger pointing and get people moving toward an opportunity to form some kind of co-operative fisheries that can be sustainable in a mutually beneficial manor that F*cking Puts FISH FIRST. I don't care what you think it is that you deserve. I don't care if you think every sector accept sportfishing is raping the resource. I only care about the fish and working towards something that all fishing sectors can enjoy.
