As you may have read elsewhere, I have just gone over the entire Fishing Guidebook. On page 19 near the bottom of the first column it states:
"A trout, salmon or grayling may not be released it it's been held on a stringer or in a fish basket, livewell or any other type of device."
I couldn't find where any other species was included under that rule. I used to get upset when I heard about or saw people releasing their catfish after they reached harbor but now it looks like it is legal. If you can find where it says otherwise I would be happy to stand corrected. I'm just trying to stay legal and I often have to refer back to the Guidebook to see if I have it right.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
