Hey..not all of us "redneck hicks" are snaggers..

Kerry,

For this fishery, that is a wrong approach to take. Again, just because "everyone" is doing it does not make it right! (and everyone is NOT doing it..saw 9 out of 10 folks fishing legally yesterday).

Snagging is UN-Sportsmanlike

Snagging TEARS UP a lot of fish that you don't get to the bank before the hook rips out.

Snagging can cause a fish to be damaged beyond "eatability"

NIMBY!

IMHO, It would be better for you (and the fish) to hire one of the tribes to go in and NET the fish, and just give them away to whoever is wanting them. Give everyone their limit of 2, send them home, get the nets out and let the rst of the fish head up-river.

Or better yet...how about we take a hook, bait and weight and see if we can catch one in a SPORTSMANLIKE manner????????????

And yes sir, you are entitled to your opinion...I just don't agree with it for the reasons above.
