BTW the sportfish status has been tried before. It won't happen here.

Reds, you are correct this is the ocean quota that they are asking to increase.
The question is why would they want to increase the quota. It is my understating that they have not reached there max quota in years. The fishery hasn’t been shut down because of quota limits. If you’re not maxing your quota why would you want an increase? In the past the ocean commercial fishery has asked for a roll over of there unused quota from the year to the next. This has been denied the past few years. Now there is a push to increase quota. I am confused.
