yes, the tribes seem happy to decimate all of our fisheries.  their opening a long line season 2 days before the recreational opener is just another slap in the face for all non-tribal citizens.

but that said, BC and SE Alaska maintain 'slot' limits, fish over or under specific sizes must be released.  that is a conservation measure to protect the very large breeding female halibut.

the guy in the orange mans red hat apparently thinks that a grip and grin photo is more important than conservation of this species.  not a very smart move at all.
