I was just re-reading the regs again for Area 5 & 6, the following sentence caught my eye:

Area 5 and 6 season quota of 3,500 "landed" chinook; afterwards, release chinook.

What is considered landed? Is it a legal fish that hits the deck of the boat? Is it a native/hatchery fish that is released along side of the boat? I'm curious to hear WDFW definition of landed. I'll try and find out.

I know in the past when the fish checkers at the dock ask you how you did and you tell them, for example, you caught 7 and only kept 4. They counted 7 against the quota.
