Having an opposing viewpoint does not make me a troll. I just see the other side of the coin.

I've told you all before I think you have some misplaced blame. Additionally, there is probably only one or two groups of people out there that can impact the asian carp deal and you all keep blaming one of those groups.

I'll be on board when you can show some data. I like catching big catfish too. But you have a long-time fishery that is fairly closely regulated and monitored by KDFWR that is continuing to exist. I firmly believe that if the bios felt that it was detrimental that they would enact more stringent regulations. As it stands now there are fewer and fewer commercial guys on the river than there ever have been and fewer places to sell fish.

Commercial harvest has existed on the river for a long, long time and in more earnest than today. If the fishery is in peril ask yourself what are the other variables because commercial fishing has less of an impact now than in the past. Your reasoning just doesn't make sense.
