Bill Santos, who lives in Taunton, Mass., called me earlier this week, and the talk soon turned to fishing.<\/p>\n

For many years, Bill made the long trip to the Kenai Peninsula to fish for sockeyes on the Kenai. He no longer comes to Alaska, but sometimes fishes for striped bass from the banks of Cape Cod Canal.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeen catchin\u2019 anything?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot much,\u201d I said. \u201cYou?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many people here now, it\u2019s like combat fishin\u2019 on the Kenai River,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople will see you catch a fish, and they\u2019ll call their buddies on their cell phones to tell them about it. Before you can get your fish out of the water, there\u2019s a picture of it on the Internet. They\u2019re all on bikes now. The next thing you know, three guys are behind you, casting over your shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n

The timing for hearing this was perfect. I had just started reading the transcript of the recent Kenai Classic Roundtable, held in Soldotna Aug. 19, hosted by the Kenai River Sportfishing Association. According to a blog on the KRSA Website, roundtable panelists were \u201cleaders from all segments of the recreational fishing community.\u201d<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t help but wonder what these leaders had planned for my segment of their so-called community. I noted that none of them were from any community on the Kenai Peninsula. The only one from Alaska, Kara Moriarty, is the executive director of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association and a KRSA board member.<\/p>\n

Further on in the blog, I learned that the panel \u201cfocused on a long-term view of recreational fishing and the strategies necessary to ensure continued growth of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you, panel members, but where I live, the sport has grown quite enough. Just as my friend Bill Santos has found on Cape Cod Canal, we\u2019ve had all the growth of the sport we can stand on the Kenai Peninsula. We\u2019ve been loving the Kenai River to death for years. Now you\u2019re advocating for still more growth? When is enough enough?<\/p>\n
