James and I personally had a experience with the game warden this season. For those who don't know the meathole on the lewis closed to boats May 1st-early june. During that time period we fished the meathole with bobber and eggs. There were several days we'd go up and there would be 10-15 plunkers in the bottom end not doing anything. So bobber fishing being such a success we started handing fish off on the shore. We were handing off 10-15 fish a day until MR WARDEN came along one day and watched. He gave us a warning stating that in the game laws you cannot hook and pass off fish to another to fill his limit. I got into the arguement with the officer about the guides and how they do it everyday, and he stated that was illegal also. So he warned us and moved on.. He did state that if you get a bite hand the rod off "before" setting the hook then you are ok. Pretty stupid if you ask me!
