its all in how you fish... there are legit guys, and guys that dont give a crap... usually they are the ones that haul snagged fish up and do 1 of 2 things, keep them, or kick them litterally back into the water because they are too lazy to bend over and release them correctly.. the also usually dont mark their catch either... i saw a dude last year while i was fishing eggs for Coho, and the water was up, i was getting a bunch of Dollys and he was hookin the crap ( litterally) out of the Chum... he comes down and tells me "how to get into some fish"... his lure, a hook (2/0) and 2 small beads, small as in the kind that come in Bobber Stop packs.... that day i left with my 2 fish, and he just hooked a bunch of boot chum...

ethics is one thing, cheating is another...

Pinks will bite in the Carbon as well, IF you do it right, if not, as you said, many get fouled, and it turns into a circus freak sideshow... god im glad i get a year off in between those runs...

legit hooked Carbon Pink, i tend to over think and put time into what i tie and use tho...
