So, when he punched his card at the river, did he record it as a king, even though the river is closed to king retention?

Or, did he record it as a coho while at the river, even though he thought it was a king, and thus was being intentionally deceptive in his punchcard when he punched it as a coho?

Or did he not bother recording anything in his punchcard at all?

Or did he release the fish?

Just wondering how he worked out these mental gymnastics to stay legal, or whether he's just a desperado...
