Simply does not occur in the case of Chinook (Springs).
The recreational sector has, for years, been granted exponentially more of the TAC than the two troll groups involved.
There are no seine fisheries for this species beyond the odd terminal one (aka limited Port Alberni) and gillnets have been largely taken out of the picture except for FN use (both FSC and race based commercial).
The harvest by all commercial sectors last season was WELL below 80,000.
The harvest by the recreational sector was in excess of 200,000.
Simply Facts..
