Now let's talk about commercial. It's my understanding that these licneses are more expensive, they stay with the boat and the boat needs to have life rafts, survival suits etc.

When Bernie and Greg say a for hire like me can choose if im fishing recreational or commercial based on what I kill, this assumes I have a commercial license too?

Pass the popcorn please
Gerry, I believe you are spot on now, the key being the commercial license possession. I'll defer to Dave C.(in between video shoots) for confirmation but that's how I'm reading it all.
