i've been fishing very successfully on a local river where 99% of the people out there are throwing yarn and lead. i've been experimenting with jigs, eggs, pink worms, and sandshrimp, all with varying degrees of success. i've been hooking about a half-dozen fish a day, very few foul hooks. my question is: some of these fish i land legally have a hook/yarn/corkie hanging off their back or tail, do you keep this fish and take the chances with the warden or release it??i've kept a couple like this(5-10 lb hens)and luckily haven't seen a fish checker. i'd hate to get in trouble with a legally hooked and landed fish especially when most of the people i see are "lining" their fish, bonking it, taking the hook out of it's ass, then their on their way home. what do you all think????
