Thanks to those who fight and post here

I dont know about the rest of you but after a few weeks of reading numerous posts, reading and re-reading the stock assesments just listed and listening to the audio from the congressional hearing on the re-authorization of magnuson stevens 2006 my brain is swimming (in a good way). I have to give CREDIT to those that have obviously spent countless hours reviewing the information to the point they can post information / opinions. I for one have to read and listen again and again as I want to jump off my chair and scream at so many points and then come back to earth and then want to scream etc etc.

Given the obvious lack of attention paid to this forum, ( just look at the views, posts and replies compared to, well duh!) I was skeptical (and I pushed for it with Gerry) but now realize what an informative tool it can be and if it does NOT get a RISE out of the everyday fisherman at least it gives a place to be heard from those that have put the time and research in to inform us and TRY to get us off our asses.

You all know WHO THEY are and what groups they associate themselves with, just hope one day we give a damn like they do as I am just scratching the surface on what they knew was a FIGHT a LONG TIME AGO

JMHO
