[Born to be Wild]

King asked sportsmen to consider a regulation that does not allow fish to be removed from the water prior to being released.

Some sportsmen net non-clipped spring chinook, flop them in their boats, remove the hook and return the salmon to the river instead of leaning out the boat and taking out the hook.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Ditto that for non fin clipped coho in the ocean also! Ditto that for all wild fish.

I try not to net any wild fish if possible. But at least that regulation in the ocean would keep the body slammers from slam dunking coho on their deck.

Right on Steve! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]
