As a resident of Alaska, and as a "sport" fisherman who fishes in order to put
food on my table, I am really getting sick of being the one who is expected to
cut back when stocks are low. Once again, the proposed regulations are to force
the many to sacrifice for the good of the few. I really resent the bias against
the public and in favor of the commercial interests. They take far and away the
largest share of the resource. Comments from this group in the past indicated
that they are somehow entitled to the resource, and they "let" us have a bit of
it. I beg to differ, it is our resource, and they should be allowed to fish for
only that part left after we, the general public, fill our freezers!
