Guys, WDFW is not as dumb as you think. They already know the mark/unmark ratio, and they figure out how many unmarked fish were caught and released by how many marked fish are sampled (ie, actually looked at by a sampler) in the fishery. Whether you answer truthfully or not has no bearing on the issue, except to corroborate that most fishermen are liers. They also do some other things, like when they catch people keeping unmarked fish they factor that into the dead wild fish equation, ie: If enforcement catches one poacher out of 50 checked that means 2% keep wild fish all the time. After all, poachers rarely brag to the fish checker about all the wild fish they killed either. So I know that you think it is clever to deceive the samplers and cheat the system, but it doesn't work that way, sorry About the only way to cheat the system is to release all the marked fish too and show them that you caught nothing back at the dock.

Oh yeah, finally believed them this time and made other plans also, [Bleeeeep!]
