This is a follow-on from and earlier post regarding puch cards and their validity. The present system has many problems. How about replacing it with an online reporting system!!!??? This would be heaven compared to the present challenges of finding a pen, remembering the codes, writing with frozen fingers, and so on. Also, data summaries would be available almost instantly rather than two years down the road. They might need a way to enforce such a system, however, so maybe a basic punchcard (with just a punch required) plus an on-line follow-up might work.

I know that whenever I catch a reportable fish I am usually on-line that night telling everyone about it, so adding the WDFW to the address list would not be that hard.
