Most are likely flossed as you assert, but there is a small percentage that hit the offering willingly. That being the case, you can't call it illegal. Not arguing one side or the other - just pointing out why the method remains legal in CA along with OR and WA.


REALLY?????? That's total BS dude. Why is it that some people just can't face reality (TRUTH)? Flossing is flossing and the jerkoffs that do it know they're flossing. It doesn't matter if it's Alaska, Oregon or California. Fishing is supposed to be a sport. Sports are exercised by sportsman and sportsman don't f-ing floss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if it was legal is it moral or ethical considering the present condition of our SPORT fisheries? If rape was legal would you condone that? In a way that is exactly what flossers are doing to the fishery. They are f-ing raping it!!!!!!!!!!! WTF happened to etiquette? I'm so sick of the bonehead mentality of this kind of sh!t! I don't pay a f-ing fortune for a license and all of the other fees to fish in this state only to have a bunch of dickheads floss the fish I'm paying for!
