Thanks 4 Salt, I realize how to be perfectly "legal" however, would a person get "busted" for having in their boat a bonked marked chinook at, say the Tualco take out (below the Lewis St boundry line) that they caught legally in the area that is open? I realize that WDFW has stipulated the open areas to protect wild stocks of concern from extra pressure and I would never promote "fake c&r" on any species of concern. I think that if I planned to take out in an area outside the legal zone I'd would release all chinook, marked or unmarked so as not to open any excuse for "others" to abuse the law.
