A little more information on the "boat limit" issue. That rule was actually only changed recently. In spite of the fact that the standard practice on charter boats was to continue fishing until there were enough fish aboard to provide a limit for everyone, it was not actually legal to do so. In spite of this the practice was routinely ignored by WDF and, more recently, WDFW. The change in the regulation came about through heavy lobbying by charter boat and associated interests, and was only written into law in the current regulation cycle
