How often does cammer take his girls friend fishing? I cant recall a single report where he talked of it, so maybe this was a special situation like a guided trip on the stamp where 2 fish a day is the limit...maybe the 1 released hatch was a summer? Lets say you get a small hatchery fish early in the day, I have seem many released so fishers can continue to fish. Indeed there are 2 many variables we arent aware of.
Who knows, the one thing I think is that Bill has him pegged! Cammer knows the rules well enuff not to post a report that totally violoates regulations...right?
All I can tell you is that from my experience, you can get fined for passing a rod. A DFO offiers told me a fish is associated to the liscence of the fisher who HOOKS the fish, not who lands it. When I was just starting getting into sockeye fishing, I had a guy pass off to my dad and I 3 times (ya we were real nubes at that point). I think he was fishing for a spring or something like that. Anyhow an undercover officers working the scale bar wrote him up for that and thats when I became aware of that "reg". It could be they only enforce it when its to the extreme, ie a guy handing off numerous fish to others...I don't know.
I know this is a contensious reg as it really isnt well defined in the regs themselves. I have passed and recieve a rod before and I am sure as I teach my 2 youngsters to fish, there will be a number of passed rods, but if you follow the regs precisely, passing a the rod is a no-no.
