I truthly wasn't passing judgement. Just pointing out what might be responsible for a slow year. I do, however, sometimes question research for the sake of research. I truly want to read all the reports this work generates (The effectiveness of deep-water gillnetting.....) . It would also be interesting to know who's funding it. It's very intersting to speculate what might come of the findings. Are macks displacing native cutthoughts on the rock piles?? Hum!! Doesn't bode well for the future of the Mackinaw fishery. Yellowstone style gill netting here we come. Yea I'm just speculating and ranting and raving. Probably would be best for the ecosystem to get rid of all those introduced species.
