The rules also say if a fish is hooked in the gill, eye, or tongue, it should be kept if legal to do so.
I for one let them all go. That does not make me holier than thow. I fish 50in. leaders and hook all my fish on the retrieve.
Ganging up on a single board member for being honest with you guys will likely bring out there bad side. I know it would me.
By the way, Fish and Game turns there head on this matter everyday. If hooked in the gill, eye or tongue, it should be kept.
What WDFW is saying is that a HEADSHOT is legal----sad but true----Easy boys eggy!
