You can safely release salmon and trout with good judgment. When you're popping them off the back with pliers and not netting them when lip hooked, no problem. If fish are slamming and burying hooks in the gills and you're going to be throwing back bleeders with their gills ripped out, or the surface is 78 degrees and the kings you're dropping are going belly up, you should probably take your limit and quit fishing that day. If someone was in a tourney and doing it, than that's sad and says a lot of bad about them. Ethical sportsman make the right decision based on the circumstances above.

Weigh 10 or 12. Not a fan of weigh 5 too. Should also require 3-4 trout and not all salmon. Tests the anglers skills much better that way.

Nice catch!

Nice boat!

Very sorry for your loss and you're in our prayers.

Nice job!

Nice catch Frank!

Thanks for the info.

How may guys/rods do you fish with? If no more than 9 rods, sounds like you got things covered. If so, I'd add to the tackle box with spoons and flashers/flys or meat rigs. If you have all the lures you need, then do you have wire divers? If no, you could add a couple wire divers and then run 4 divers at a time, highs and lows. If you are adding lures, I'd buy stuff over time and get proven hot lures that are happening now instead of dropping a pile of cash on lures that worked last year. Hot lures change all the time. Some are one hit wonders and some produce consistenly over time.

Good box for the toughest part of the day.

Thanks
