The funny thing is with all the big fish released BC might actually one day be the place to come catch a fish of a lifetime, you just can't keep it. It's not all bad 60# seems low but read the proposal they considered as low as 40#!
I wish all salmon over 30 had to be released if that was done going back decades imagine how good the fishing could be. Of course it's all for nothing if the natives just take those big fish from the river.
It's too bad it's so hard (impossible) to get a good picture with a 150# halibut your about to release. If you could get some good pictures beside it to help you brag I think it would be easier to handle. From reading this people are not upset about the lost meat they are upset about the missing trophy. It's all about greed (me included). It's about greed for the tourists who choose to go to Alaska too because they can't keep big ones here. It's the fishermen way we always want to catch the biggest most powerful fish out there no matter the cost.
no, i need to feed my family first.
