I was checked twice last year by WDFW. First time was lake Washington sockeye season just outside the mount lake cut I was heading back after a day of fishing. They pulled along side my boat and stopped me. They checked everyones license and then asked me to open the ice chest to show them my fish. They thanked me and said goodbye. The next time was fishing point dalco for blackmouth. They again pulled up along side. Asked to check our hooks to make sure they were barbless and look at our licenses. Then opened up the fish boxes and ice chest. Again passing with flying colors he told me how much he liked my boat and to have a good day. I have been checked maybe 10 times in the past 25 years by WDFW and they have allways been nice and considerate. I have also been asked by fish checkers many more times than that to look at my fish. I never have a problem showing off the days catch. It was kind of funny last year at Alkia when the fish checker asked if I had any luck fishing for silvers and I said yes. He asked me to take the ice chest out of the boat and open it up witch I did. I think he was suprised to see we had four silvers for four fishing that day. He told me he had counted 46 other boats with 4 total fish.
