That's an awful nice fish to put back. Whyd you let it go?

Not trying to take anything away from it....it is a beautiful fish.....but....it looks.to me like an adipose fin hiding under the front edge of the rag...... if that is why it was released you should probly pull the picture since it is illegal to remove them from the water....

Gorgeous fish!


Can someone cite the law stating that it is illegal to remove it from the water for a picture please?
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Its pretty damn close, some of my pics look like they are out of the water but they got a fin touching. Sweet fish and I see nothing wrong with how he handled it.

It is unlawful to totally remove
salmon, steelhead, or Dolly Varden/bull trout
from the water if it is unlawful to retain those
fish, or if the angler subsequently releases the
salmon, steelhead, or Dolly Varden/bull trout.
