There's an ongoing "Bristol Bay Salmon Enforcement Program" with whopping fines, boat seizures, arbitrary arrests and jail time for even the slightest technicality on any number of arcane fishing regulations.

Sport or subsistence fishing is certainly not "commercial" as it's falsely sworn to be in state court, and it's certainly not depleting any major ocean fisheries to feed a small village.

Not at all. "Fishing" is viewed as a vice by a Mormon attorney general bent on enforcing peculiar religious mores as laws or under color of some law or another in the State of Alaska.

People are "having fun" in the view of the same sort of hyper-religious missionary cops for which Salt Lake City, Utah is notorious, and these cops simply want to punish people for their "fun" out of spite or envy of their free spirits.

There is hope for the addicted, and this hope comes through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The use of artificial lures to fool and catch a fish is an example of the way Lucifer often tempts, deceives, and tries to ensnare us.

And straight from the horse's mouth on that starvation pulpit. Fishing preached to be a sin in no uncertain terms in Attorney General Treg Taylor's church, and prosecuted in state court without even a hint of separation of church and state.

Prior to serving as Alaska attorney general, Treg Taylor was the deputy attorney general in charge of the civil division.

This is very unfortunate, as it is quite unchristian of these Mormon preacher-cops to punish fishing as vice, since so many of Jesus' disciples were fishermen, if Jesus Christ didn't walk on water and go fishing with them Himself at times.
