Keep in mind that Wal Mart is one of the BIGGEST corporations funding all of thios non sense in our fisheries right now as they see BILLIONS in profits once catch shares go into effect. I feel your pain though, and I sure can't afford to get out and go fishing any more even though I bought a lifetime license a few years back anticipating using it.
