Just like before, this rule is debatable by definition. SUPER LONG post about it last year too. Article 50 definitions state "the definition of TAKE does NOT include catch and release"

So, fish can be released if you choose to. We release all healthy fish we catch. Once we get to 5 in the box we stop, otherwise we keep catching and releasing.

I know you don't agree with it but that is in violation of the law. It's 5 and done whether you keep them or not. Hate to see you get fined for this. The whole intent of this "summer rule" was to reduce fish mortality when fish are brought up from deep water and will not survive being released.
