This is BS. By this reasoning, it is fine to take a Wild Steelhead if may be a record, and it is legal to keep.

Any way, nice fish!
Jim: Add one more qualifier and I would agree with you. If they were so abundant that six of you you could catch one every time your lines hit the water for two solid days, over a ten mile area

I think the amazing abundance of the fish in that area is a factor that is valid to consider.
