I have now been there 3 times and have hooked a bunch of 23 inch blackmouth that had to be let go. The problem is, by my estimate, at least 25 percent of them were not going to make it. I was using a Coyote spoon and the fish would hit it so aggressively that many were caught in the eye, in the top of the head, and so on. It just sucks to let these fish drift off behind the boat when I would have kept them and filled my chinook limit just to not waste these fish. But instead I continued fishing until I caught a legal chinook and as such ended up killing 2 but only keeping one.

Come on WDFW, wake up!!!! Go fishing sometime and see what it is really like.
