90/10 recreational dead fish verses commercial dead fish.
What if the numbers were 60/40, you would still point the finger at the commercial fisherman?
What if they were 50/50? Would you accept 50% of the blame then?
A million pounds sounds like a lot, but what about the other NINE MILLION pounds of dead fish from recreational anglers?

Not everyone! I for one have been saying for years that it's not the legal commercial guys by any extent of the imagination and have written on this very subject repeatedly. I add the word 'legal' commercial as once you cross the line then you are no longer a commercial, you're a poacher. Same hold true for recreational.
It's the easy answer to point a finger and say it's the other guy, he needs to change while I keep on doing my thing; it's human nature, really.
