Where legal, this continues to be the pre-eminent harvest guideline on my barge. If it's clipped, it goes in the box... regardless of size, sex, or maturity.

Other "rules of engagement" endorsed by Team eyeFISH.
1) Team Single
2) Team Barbless
3) Team Hangback
4) Team CCA... well at least for another season.
5) Team ALL hatchery fish MUST die

Coho:
In marine and/or tidewater, ALL legal coho MUST die. This is due to the obscene release mortality of salt- and/or transition-water coho.

Buoy 10 chinook:
1) Unless mortally wounded, ALL wild tules WILL be released
2) ALL hatchery fish MUST die.

GH/Chehalis chinook:
1) Unless mortally wounded, ALL wild hens WILL be released.
2) Unless mortally wounded, any wild buck over 30# WILL be released.
3) ALL hatchery fish MUST die.
