Issue isn't so much chinook "snaggers" as much as it is guys using big gobs of eggs to target kings..... and gut- and gill-hooking some big ones along the way.

That's the rationale we've heard at the committee level.

Those chinook impacts could be expended in that fashion, but it would necessarily mean fewer kings available for potential retention later in October.
