Firestorms get started in a variety of ways, especially on politicized issues.

ESPNOutdoors.com inadvertently contributed to a flare-up Tuesday when we posted the latest article in a series of stories on President Barack Obama's newly created Ocean Policy Task Force, a column written by Robert Montgomery, a conservation writer for BASS since 1985. Regrettably, we made several errors in the editing and presentation of this installment. Though our series has included numerous news stories on the topic, this was not one of them -- it was an opinion piece, and should have been clearly labeled as commentary.

And while our series overall has examined several sides of the topic, this particular column was not properly balanced and failed to represent contrary points of view.

I think we need an article written from the POV of the fish.

When even fisherman are more interested in political hackery than conservation and responsible stewardship of what they claim to love most, strange things can and do happen.

they obviously feel they have bigger fish to fry.

I just renewed my fishing license for 2010 - does this mean I've been elected?
