On you being an accessory, I'm not quite sure on that, but I tend to think you are. On the plunkers side, yes he is quilty of snagging. You can't retain any fish that isn't legaly hooked in the mouth. Don't feel bad, last December I was on the bridge at Tokel creek and I pointed out a half dozen fish in a seam behind some rocks to a fisherman, three other guys come running up from down stream and proceeded to snag 4 of the six fish. On the first snag job I told the guy he could'nt keep a fish that was hooked in the a$$hole. He told me "YES HE COULD" his friends told me that it's not up to me to tell him how to fish. I wish I had my cell phone with me then,I would of been a taaaattle tale. These guys were true sportsmen, yea what a joke!! These are the type of guys that give fisherman a bad name.
