stlhd_dreaming isn't it predictable to hear a comment like the one below yours? Just for stating the law he said your a moron, a keyboard gamewarden, don't know anything about washington fisheries, you spout off and are ignorant. I don't get it.

When i first saw the pics i thought, here we go, lets see how many knock B Mac down for holding up a fish for a pic. Just like has happened on other posts over and over. Then i see you(stlhd) post the rule for his info incase he didn't know and to head off all the others that are going to say it anyways. And what happens? You get called a moron for it. Well i guess most of us are morons then because most of us have stated rules and mostly for info, not to flame. Yet you(stlhd) get shot down for it.

And you can only guess if it is an unclipped hatchery fish. And a guess means your unsure. If your unsure then follow the rule. Just don't pick up fish with dorsals intact and there will be no problem. Why try to make the fish legal with a loophole or rewording of the law? I agree though, it isn't perfectly clear. But we all know what it means without reading too deeply into it trying to make it work to our advantage. If there is an advantage, then it should ALWAYS be on the conservations side, not the harvest.

Nice fish though, by the way. Wish we could have more posts but less hassle,negativity and the wondering if your going to be called a moron because of your reply.
