Find the food........find the fish. I'm convinced there's a connection.[/QUOTE]

Right answer but lets see what's been finding the food. More Whale's,Seals,Dolphins,Sand Sharks. Does anybody have any idea how many pounds a day a Whale or Seal eats alone? I have seen more Whales,Seals,Dolphins & Dogfish then I ever saw in my lifetime. Remember back when those fish were plentiful the population of Whales,Seals & Dogfish were a lot smaller then what they are today. Ask any commercial bait fisherman this & they will agree with me 100%. It doesn't matter how much we cut back on what we take were only feeding the predators more by drastic catch reductions. Open up the Whale & Seal industry they now have more humane ways to harvest these predators.
