This s--t really pisses me off............

Blackfish season is open. You are allowed to KEEP/KILL/EAT 1 per angler. There is not a rule against catch and release fishing or labeling fish as "Keepers" so other post readers understand the size of your fish.
Rumster seems to know the laws and I'm sure follows them as he is on the bottom fishing grounds often. Why do you think he and his crew broke any laws?

Why would you also think that the fish would not survive after release? Many blackfish have survived hours in coolers only to flop around when they get fileted. Very hearty fish.
