Oh, you mean the guy who couldn't answer questions at the kodiak fisheries debate? The guy who had no idea about trawl bycatch of halibut? The guy who wouldn't commit to be for or against pebble mine......

Yeah, that guy.

A man who knows nothing about fisheries on this committee. It would be better for Alaska if he wasn't on any committee that has anything to do with fishing.

Why do you liberals always sign anonymous? If ISIS was over here beheading people, would you stand up and be noticed as somebody against this or would you be shaking behind your mommy’s skirt? Be a man. You should be willing to stand up for what you believe. You must lead a very unhappy life hiding in coffee shops, smoking pot, and complaining while hitting the anonymous button.

Mike Svenson what does that have to do with an unqualified person being in the position of making decisions about Alaska's fisheries. Just what do you think about an unqualified person making decisions about Alaska's fisheries.
Talk about ISIS John McCain wanted to arm ISIS in 2013. Lets not get into that stuff.

Why is it that you think halibut are the most economically important fish and that bycatch is the issue? What percentage of total harvestable biomass does halibut make up? If you raise the allowable bycatch of halibut we can all catch more fish. It's those who choose to catch only halibut (or king salmon) that are going to hurt Alaskan fisheries. Get a clue about the world around you. Targeting the least abundant species does not create jobs or feed people.

Well you can expect Sully to disarm the NMFS Officers and ban fish abortions, AKA Roe Stripping.

When begich joined the senate he knew nothing about federal fisheries issues. 6 years later his highest priority was rewarding seattle companies for contributing to his campaign. In case you forgot, begich's push to legislatively codify the Amendment 80 sector was opposed by all Alaskan fisheries interests!

Mike Svenson, the reason why this liberal has to stay anonymous is because there may come a day when I might have to ask you for a job. And instead of being judged by my political association, I'd rather be judged by my solid DRUG FREE resume. Until I can actually afford to piss in other people's wheaties, I will remain anonymous.
