Not sure why the recreation anglers aren't support by the big tackle makers - Penn, Shimano, Berkley, etc

I sent my comments very similar to what Champ has stated above, absent the part about big tackle makers support. The effect on businesses ancillary to the party and charter boats, and their families would be devastating.
I hope some of these bureaucrats pay attention.
