OPPOSED Thanks for the opportunity to comment. It is difficult to find the words to offer constructive comment on this ridiculous proposal to further restrict the guided sport angler wishing to catch a halibut in SE Alaska. Everyone knows that this entire operation is a ploy spearheaded by ALFA and the various other commercial noise makers around the state. Where is the real, scientific basis for this proposal? Now, even the ADF&G admits that their catch data which seems to be the basis for this maneuver is fatally flawed. Many, many more viable ideas have been presented in the past to deal with this situation, there's no need to go into them here as NMFS knows them verbatim. I urge those in Juneau to wake - up. There's plenty of good folks other than commercial fishermen trying to make a living on a fish they've never owned to start with.
