Most of you are dead wrong! The worst thing you can do is return a blank card. The WDFW uses the catch information to see if we can or are taking our allotted fish. An example, on the Quinalt river, sports allottment has been reduced because the catch data showed that sportsfishermen were not capable of taking their share, so who got more and who got less? The tribe picked up the unused sportsmens fish, called "foregone opportunity", means if we dont' use it, we lose it. I am a catch and release fisherman, but I now know that I will be doing my part by bonking fish that are legal and filling my card. So mark your cards, bonk your hatchery fish, and return them, only way we can keep our pathetic numbers in the long haul.
