cowlitzfisherman,

In regard to "Keeping a legally hooked fish with fresh snag marks on the body", as I said before "you have every right to keep it". I just stated my preference in letting it go in order to avoid any potential conflict. You are legal and I said it is "your call". I am not trying to impose my views. Who knows, if I am in a feisty mode and want the fish, I will keep it as well. wink
