There is a lot of ways fisherman contribute to GNP. We spend money on boats, gas, lures, food, bait, etc. etc. then to top it off, any lures mfg or imported add a 10% tax called an excise tax. I personally think that as much as we spend on boats, the fed should make lower interest rate loans available so we can spend more on boats... sort of like the interest rates on homes. Plus we all work harder and longer hours so we can spend more on what we love on the weekends.
