From the transcript
Gentlemen, it's always concerned me a bit that a vast number of clients to the charter boat industry are coming from the wrong place to begin with. They're coming from a perspective of, a number of them are, not all, but a majority of them are coming from a place that they want to send back as much fish as they possibly can, primarily halibut, without regards at all to whether or not they can possibly consume that amount. If that's If that experience isn't enough justification for the tax, at the airport in the summer when you go down there, just take note of the fact that all the people leaving Kodiak, fortunately, have got a number of fish boxes, far too many than which they can possibly consume.. And it's not the intent of the way the system is supposed to work to begin with. There's already two communities in Alaska, Sitka I'm more familiar with than any of them, which have imposed a fish box tax for all good reasons.
