[#0000FF]I was not picking on you, my friend. But there is a regulation that specifically covers "Donating". And if you didn't know about it there are probably a lot of others who do not.

Donating
Utah Code § 23-20-9
The following are the only places where
you may donate or give protected aquatic
wildlife or its parts to another person:
•
The permanent residence of the donor
•
The permanent residence of the recipient
•
A meat locker
•
A storage plant
•
A meat-processing facility
You may not donate fish in the field.
A written statement of donation must
be kept with the protected aquatic wildlife
or parts that includes all of the following
information:
•
The number and species of protected
aquatic wildlife or parts donated
•
The date of donation
•
The license or permit number of the
donor
•
The signature of the donor
[#0000FF]
There are a lot of infractions that are worse than this, in my opinion. And I won't openly admit to violating this rule myself. But I do disagree with not being able to hand off a fish or two to a youngster or some other deserving individual who has greater need of a fish than the one who caught it. The law was passed to help curtail the practice of family or group fishing, in which one or two of the better anglers in a group catches everybody else's limit. The limits are set for a reason...and not just as a suggestion.
