It always puzzled me, just how can anyone determine the recreational release mortality rate. It also matters little what the real percentage is that can be attributed to each sector, it’s the management of the resources that has always been the issue.

PBS reran the two part series on the American Bison earlier this week.

In part two, one of the guys trying to preserve some of the remaining bison had a quote that probably applies here (paraphrase):
"a species targeted by man's commercialization/commoditization will be lucky to survive/exist"... something like that.

I call that chart pure BS. How many rec guys take 15 or more fish a year. Not many.

Compared to Comms 15 fish a day.

Odd how they can claim rec guys catch so many fish when no one’s ever asked
