And the next person would do the same with a wild steelhead of wild coho, there is no difference based on the regs. There is no opening. What about the person that snags a hatchery coho in the tail on a river that is open to retention, with your logic it goes in the trunk of the car. The end result is a dead fish, does not matter how it go there.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm not going to bonk a wild coho or a wild steelhead. I don't do that. I can't speak for other people who would bonk a wild coho or a wild steelhead...I won't be doing that. 100% not going to happen.
If I accidently snag a chrome hatchery coho in the tail, if no one is around that is going to phone me in.....I'm bonking it. A fish dragged in by the tail has a severely high mortality rate. It will probably die after release. Why waste the meat?
