How do you know it was multi agency?
Quote from: BOWHUNTER45 on February 08, 2013, 09:14:03 AMI was going to let you sit on it for awhile This maybe the best thing that could of happened All over a picture of my SON posting a picture on facebook He was holding a Native steelhead out of the water According to them you can not take a Native fish out of the water if it is closed for keeping them ...no matter if you turn it loose or not ..You have to either cut your line or keep the fish in the water at all times without handling it ...Thats fine since not everyone knows how to handle a fish ..But wetting yours hands is how I handle a fish I want to cut loose ...I can understand what they are saying ...They came because they thought that Teddy was clubbing fish in the head !!! They searched the freezers to find many fish BUT NO STEELHEAD !!! They were doing their job and thats fine ...After a 2 hour deal I hope we settled our differences and this will be the end of it ...I told them how I felt and they done the same ...they need to understand where I am coming from too ! I buy every tag this state has to offer and I am not sitting home and doing nothen when I pay for what I do ...that is what it is all about ...I am tired of all the laws they come up with and I have a right to beach about what I believe in ... I am not braking the law like they may think I am ... and now they seen what is in my house ...lots of fish and dead animals that are legally taken and reported I hope they can leave me alone now ...and I will do the same !!Sounds to me like you got a good lesson. That law was put in place because people don't know how to handle fish and don't do it responsibly. Many people who claim to know how to handle fish still hold them out of the water too long. Just yesterday someone posted a "funny" comment about kicking pinks back into the water. While there are plenty of pinks around, it still isn't proper fish handling, still is harmful to the fish, and still shouldn't be done. I've never understood why hunters feel it is OK to mistreat fish but not OK to mistreat animals? And, I've seen plenty of steelhead mishandled and even some kicked back down the gravel bar to be released "unharmed." Personally, I hope you got a ticket and learned your lesson (which it doesn't sound like occurred on either count).

There's always one! I guess it just bugs me when people get caught doing something illegal then bitch on the interwebz like they are the victim when they get caught. I guess we should all feel bad for him?

you do not need to feel sorry for anyone !!!! If you want to think holding a fish out of water is illegal then we have a problem ...you can message me if you like because this may get ugly !
