tmas -- thank you.
The reasoning is sound. The allowance is legal. The abuse (specifically with Pacific halibut) is morally wrong.
FWIW -- I feel that Alasaka residents should have more privileges to "store for the winter" than should tourists. I understand the desire of bringing home boxes of fresh salmon and halibut -- the stuff is like gold! But from a perspective of sustaining our populations of wild fish, I wish more anglers would only take what they need -- not what they can.
