KSR,

Look up the WDFW definition of "snagging" - Page 13 in the 2001 WDFW Sport regs:

"Attempting to take fish with a hook and line in such a way that the fish does not voluntarily take the hook(s) in it's mouth."

A lot of different techniques can be used to snag fish. Just remember that it's not the technique to blame. It's the person who chooses to use that technique to snag.
