its tempting fate? conservation officers here say if you have your limit and keep fishin and target another species and incidently catch a gut hooked fish you already have a limit of, he said ill fine you?why take the chance.
GOD BLESS

That's my thing, if the fish is damaged and you are at your limit its now just a dead fish. Also you can say you are targeting some other species, but you can catch many species on the same baits..."go ahead and reel that up" says, the CO as you get a hit and pull in what you have a limit of. I have seen CO's ticket people river fishing for salmon, having them reel up and their bait is gone, they ticket that as snagging.
