Glowball,
First I would like to tell you that I consider you a very respectable member here. I have seen you gave out reports and advices for both fishing and hunting. Thanks for being a true sportsman.

But I have to disagree with you on your last post.
1. Hooking and/or retaining fish being hooked in the mouth is LEGAL.
2. Snagging to retain fish being hooked in a region other than the mouth, eyess, or gills is ILLEGAL.

Yes, I would shoot a legal deer eating apples from a tree if he is a trophy or I really need the meat.

No, I would not use the spot light because it would be ILLEGAL to hunt those hours.

Glowball, please show me and everyone here specifically where the law dictates against flossing fish and retaining fish hooked in the mouth.

As for your hunting scenario, page 15 "State of Washington Big Game Hunting Seasons and Rules 2003."
1. "Hunging with artifical lights
Hunting big game with the aid of an artificial light or spotlights is prohibited."

This one is for the dumbass above.

3. "Using aircraft
Using aircraft to spot, locate, or report the location of wildlife for the purpose of hunting, or hunting big fame on the same day you are airborne, except for a regularly scheduled commercial flight, is prohibited."

Guys, the laws are already here for all of us.
Please know them and interpret them properly.
If you're confused, them just call the department or post a question on this board.
But please stop making more rules and laws; it is getting more confusing already.

For those who don't know.
Flossing is not easy.
Although they think that they are flossing, not too many guys are affective with this method.

Big hooks and big corkies is the wrong setup.
That's all I can say to prevent a burning cross on my front yard tonight.
