Question for a friend.
 

I have a buddy that has been catching some big ling lately. He can't fit some of them in his fis box on his bay boat. He wants to know if it is legal to filet the fish leaving both filets still on the skin so that he can break the backbone of the carcus and put it in his fish box to prove the fish's size in case he gets checked.

Pretty sure it's not legal

I guess he needs to start catching smaller fish then.

Or buy a bigger ice chest

Ah, the oviouse solution. ;)

Im pretty good at stating the obvious, comes natural

I'm pretty sure if you don't call me to catch ling with your buddy that don't fit in his ice chest I'm gonna be pissed. Thanks chris

I can follow in my boat with big ice chest. Or with three big ice chest

That's what told him too. He's 6'3" and said he would hit his head on his t top tryin to get over it. Ha.

Man, I hate when I have that problem!!!

That's right....fish have to be "intact".

I'm goin too as soon as I can't shoot at those lol teal ducks anymore. But the wind will probably start blowin again by then.

Hide them under a few keys of coke......wlf will never even notice the fish.....

Lol. Great idea Dink!!!

Forgot.....if you don't get pulled over, bring the coke to me and ill clean your fish for ya!!!
