So, being disabled means no fishing?
I did not know that...

No. Claiming to be too disabled to work and then going fishing while collecting disability checks is the problem here.

Depends on the disability. If it involves strenuous exertion of the upper body and back, it probably does.

I'm sure it doesn't preclude riding in a boat, and watching someone else do the work.

Actually, if one is living in Alaska and not fishing, why are they living?

Well, I think there is a huge difference between recreational fishing, which is someone could do even from a wheelchair, and commercial fishing using boats and nets...

In fact, Alabama gives free recreational fishing licenses to disabled vets.

No. CLAIMING disability to go DIPNET fishing. Dipnet fishing is strenuous and dangerous. Sometimes the fish can weigh over 60 pounds. Some disability...

Some people seem to think that if you back pain or some other injury you can’t do anything and if you get any compensation for it you should be lying in bed 24/7.

Trust me, dipnetting is much more strenuous than fishing with a rod and reel.
