I don't know. I fish a fair amount. I guess I'm paying so much attention to what I'm doing that I miss alot. I can't recall, except for some Chum fisheries, anyone killing fish just for the eggs or saying that that's what they're doing. Eggs for me have always just been a bonus along with a fish I intended to eat. It would certainly disturb me to see someone actually catching a fish on a river, stripping the eggs and discarding the carcass, especially any stock that is threatened. That seems a waste to me, which is why the regs prohibit it, among other reasons. Certainly, anyone who would advertise that that is what they are doing has a screw loose.
