There'll be some tricky stuff to try to figure out a way to get gill nets back in, but we'll keep an eye on it.

We think manatee zones can be implemented that protect manatees and still provide reasonable access for boaters. That's been our argument all along, and I think the commission is becoming more and more receptive.

We felt it was very important to let people know there are more manatees now than there were 25 years ago. So we're not in any emergency situation; we are in a situation where we have to manage the species carefully.

It's nice to set up guys and give them empty nets and stuff, but these D are good. I have to make sure that I use shooting as an option more.

Gill was on his game tonight.

He knew better than anyone that if I get going, I can light up Gill Coliseum, any coliseum - if I get going. And he understood that because we came in together, and we worked out many days together, many nights. It's just an understanding we had.
