Rockfish:

There are many reasons why I don't care to see flagrant snagging. Including the message it sends out. In the example I mentionded there were entire familys, mom dad and the kids all happily snagging salmon.

On a more practical level, as I mentioned, they were also snagging rare summer chums.

I do not consider snagging a fishing opportunity. I consider it an unethical method of harrassing fish. If snagging is a fishing opportunity then I supposed dipnetting brood stock in the hatchry holding pond is also.
