The problem with the state is that they don't look at what other states have done. I've guided on a river in alaska that is in the top 5 in the state in numbers of chinook salmon that return each year. In the month long season on that river I saw less boats than you see on the HOH on a Saturday. Guess what the limits were there. 1 King per Day, 5 per year. Yet in the state of washington a fisherman can get two a day on the O.P. and 30 a year and than get a new punchcard to replace the one he just filled and start on that one. I am not for the releasing of all chinook but I would like to see a reduced daily limit and a seasonal limit of say 5. How many Kings does a person really need. what he doesn't get in Kings he could get in Silvers. Just my two cents.
