11/17/2018 3:28:43 PMAwesome report, glad to see you getting after them! Just one thing, please keep them in the water if you're going to release them! I know it can be difficult but releasing them quick in the water greatly improves their chance of making it up river to do their thing so we can keep fishing for them. Every little bit helps.

11/17/2018 7:53:03 PMIt’s actually listed in the regs that you must leave them in the water if you’re releasing them. I didn’t realize that either until I was re-reading the regulations last week.
I really don’t get why some people are so elitist about which species they fish for. I’d get really bored if I only fished for a couple of species. They’re all fun in their own right, though chum are some of the most fun. I’m hoping for some fresh fish out my way, not much going on this week on The Satsop.

11/17/2018 11:53:20 PMI understand about keeping the fish in the water but since it’s not catch and release only I don’t have a problem with taking them out of the water.

11/18/2018 5:20:26 AMWow lol that's great reasoning.... If you're not killing it you have no reason to remove it from the water, CnR or not

11/18/2018 9:19:16 AMIt's actually a regulation. Warden doesn't care if you have a problem with it or not. If you are not keeping you are required by law to leave it in the water. Not here to tell anyone what to do while fishing I am clearly stating the law. I won't be the one getting the ticket for not following the rules. Just saying

11/19/2018 8:14:22 AM"If its not C&R I dont have a problem"that makes no sense.Do the fish you enjoy catching a favor,so the opportunity will continue to exist.Why stress the fish any more than you have to?Im sure that kind of stress could mess with there spawn.Seems more like a lazy thing.

11/20/2018 4:54:08 PMThose poor fish. They were on their way to do what they only do once in their lives and then die. The process of hooking and then landing prolonged their jolly time by 5 or so minutes. You probably also indirectly took out 3 or so killer whales.

11/20/2018 6:07:40 PMKenaiwild that was just plain hurtful . I love the whales, espesially with mayo between a couple slices of bread.

Seriously though .... I’ve fished with red numerous times and he always takes care of the fish. Gentile slide up the clay/mud quick hook out and back in the water in seconds. If you guys want to rip on someone then rip on those guys taking 5 minutes to get a pic of the “perfect release”.
