Personally I see no problem with the bonking of these Kings, provided they are chrome! I have seen numerous chrome brite kings in the rivers up there...you live up there and don't see chrome brite kings...?
If you think that the bonking of kings by sporties and guides is the problem...how bout the NETS? There's the real problem and they are indiscriminant to how brite a fish is.
The law says I can bonk...I'm gonna bonk! I observe all laws when fishing and if I want to take a few big kings home after a long weekend of fishing. I gonna do it!
and to all the people blaming guides, BLAME THE NETS first... mad
