4/19 - HIS WORDS (not mine): LA Times writer says "No Big Fish in California"

Sorry California fishermen, I'm just posting 'em as I see 'em. I'm only the messenger. You'll probably want to write to Gary Polakavic at the LA Times if you don't agree with his observations. Here's how he starts: "My first trip deep-sea fishing off Southern California was so disappointing that I quit early — the only time that has ever happened."

On a more ocean conservation-related note, WHY, oh why, is this writer calling the lack of big fish off California a "dirty little secret," and what does that tell us about how effectively the ocean conservation movement has managed to communicate a simple problem to the mass audience? Its the same problem that caused none of the California tv stations to know our Tiny Fish PSA was controversial.
