Divers you and everyone can get a quote from Evan Jacby that in "general they will not write you a ticket for hooking them in the gill plates forward and bonking." Please all read that reply carefully...it does not say that the letter of the law won't be applied. Please read the reg's for me and recite after me ...."in the mouth." That's just what the gamies are doing this year on the Quil and other rivers.... cry me a mile my friends but that's reality and the law . You want to rely on someones half ass legal response when it comes to a $500 ticket be my guest ! Sheesh can any one read and comprehend?
