Ok, so you were not aware of the regs. Not going to try to crucify you for that . . . even though you should have known.

Where the conversation turned 'bad' to me was:
[quote bassrods]Okay closed to the taking..So who said I kept any, and I don't even keep any Kings when I fish in Alaska so why would I keep those..[/quote]

You really ought to brush up on the regs. Not only were you unaware of the closure to protect spawning kokanee (comparing to bass is apples and oranges - there is no closure on bass to protect during spawning), but you fail to understand the breadth of the term "take". What you did was classified as "take" as you intentionally pursued the species.
