Yes....

But fp might have to kill me if I spilt the beans.

BTW there was a couple dudes in an old little Gregor that bagged a nice king. My crew was aghast when they hoisted that beast over the gunnel. Clearly a king by the fight... and even more obvious when the thick chunky blush-bellied beast was pulled out of the water.

That fish stayed aboard for over two minutes while those guys dicked around with it. Then there was no activity for a while. Finally they decided to throw it overboard.

I pulled alongside to politely let them know that you can't pull fish out of the water if they are going to be released.

Their ignorant cop-out was that they "didn't know it was a king".

Pretty bogus if you ask me.

Even if you gave them the benefit of the doubt, did it really take 3 minutes with the fish out of the water to finally figure it out? If they really didn't know, why didn't they just keep it? Just like the other ignorant b'tards out there doing the same thing? Fish checker I know creeled four kings in the first week of the fishery. Again folks pleading ignorance. Funny though how one of the boats had their kings segregated in separate bags from their coho. Didn't know? YGTFK, right?

Work really hard to ensure maximum recreational opportunity in my neck of the woods. Hate to see it squandered due to ignorant fishermen.

GDITMMM!
