I TOTALLY agree with you. I am 70y/o & was in the military during Viet Nam. Had plenty of dirt/sand/whatever kicked in my face. Sometimes you have to man-up & take it, make sacrifices for the greater good.FRIM is real ,then lets start where the most significant impact can make a REAL difference, commercial trawlers, gillnets, seine,off shore drift nets, otherwise this is just lip service and kicking sand in the face of the little guy
So what is your point here? QCL has many violations & has been accused of not using barbless hooks - I tend to believe the Haida statement.

I'd say that the "every species of salmon" is only partially correct but overall the whole statement is correct - catch & release kills fish; every gov agency that regulates fishing knows this. On one part the C&R as practiced by sporties is only part of the problem, but should we refuse to correct the part we have control over just because we don't control the other parts? DFO has stated that MSF's will not occur in areas where the mark rate is below a certain percentage because the benefit does not outweigh the damage done to wild fish."The ongoing carnage and waste by way of “catch and release” is taking its toll, not only on every species of salmon, but also halibut and rock cod."

I see the Haida as trying to control what they have the power to control.
IMO more of us need to put the interests of the fish before our own.
IMO there are 6 types of C&R:Can you define Catch and Release for me?
What a sad, ignorant and racist statement to make. It should be removed.I will always stand against everything the indians want. I will never vote for a party that panders to them. I still call the islands the Queen Charlotte Islands. One people. One law. One Canada.

Why hasn't SFAB or other groups came out with a firm stance against this nonsense ? The lack of outrage is concerning.
I guess the DFO and crazy lefty government have made the secret deals, and there's just nothing to do but except it now and wait for it to roll into our home waters.
If there has been any push back at all from any group, please let us know!
LOl... to funny
