No doubt.
What sometimes affects one's perception is the distribution of fish on any given year. If they don't show heavily in one's local area, one may(erroneously) assume the stocks are in trouble.
I've said this before, but if you didn't experience the mid to late 80's fishery, you may have a clouded perception of how good the fishing really is right now. There's a bigger number and size distribution of fish right now than we've had in 20 years. I feel the next world record will be taken within three years.
Individual success in great part comes down to where they actually set up shop each year and nobody can predict that. Case in point=CC Canal last year.
