    How many do you have for sale?
  6. Scalloper 1
    Would this be considered a long shaft?

    If there was I would guess it would be almost as much to pay a charter considering all of the messes some would get into running down riggers and a boat they are unfamiliar with.

    If someone is on a charter and wants to keep their fish then I completely understand. Me and a buddy went on a charter 3 years ago and my buddy doesn't eat fish so he had the mate release two. When the captain looked in the cooler and saw that there were 3 fish less then we landed he asked what happened to the other fish. The mate said he didn't want to keep any so he let them go. The captain was quite upset. I understand that not all charter boats are the same but it did seem odd most will keep small 20' kings just to box out. There is a argument on fish survivability with warm waters and deeply hooked fish, I get it. But as a 35 year commercial fisherman I also understand if you want to release a fish it has far better chances in the lake then it would in the cooler.

    I have been on a few charters on LO and fished it out of my own boat for years. I was always surprised whith the lack of CR. As a matter of fact it seems to be the complete opposite where many charter boats keep every legal fish just to box out and head to the doct early. Even if some of the salmon are 20" or less. This makes 0 since to me when that fish will get to be 15+ lbs in another year or so.

    I do only run 1 per side but man, if it doesn't release its difficult to tell if you are putting to much pressure on the fish/leader. And when it does release they track right behind the boat vs plane on top of my dipsys.
