BTW-The anecdotes I have been recieving from those that were out fishing Sekiu and the other areas where wild salmon could not be brought aboard the vessel seem to conclude that the mortality of wild coho was much less then in previous years because they were being handled with more care due to WDFW regulations.
Funny, that's not what I heard from paying clients who were on charters out there this season. I heard countless stories of deckhands/captains that would bring the catch on board, let it flop around, bleed all over the place, and if it had a fin on it, would kick it back over board, all the time swearing at the WDFW for a stupid rule.
Parker...from what I understand both photos I posted of myself would be legal because the fish was still partially submerged in the water.
I was only commenting on the 2nd photo Sparkster, not BOTH. And, if I'm the judge in this case, that sure does look like that fish is completely out of the water. Naturally, we all know one can NOT edit or manipulate a photo, so it MUST be true.
Bail Denied! Life in prison for you! Or, pay the $150 fine.
So, does this mean that I can hold a fish up horizontal by the gills and keep it's tail in the water for my 2004 Grip N Grins? That would be legal under the new law, wouldn't it? No different than your supposed "partially submerged" fish from above, si?
