No. But my first guess would be someone mis-identified coho for chinook, or kept a wild or two coho. But; know nothing of the actual situation.
I was stopped and checked first week of May by rcmp for registration and safety checks(passed with full compliance).Rcmp officer asked me what i was fishing for, and i said "lingcod". He replied "the only thing open is halibut". I questioned him on it and said "lingcod opened May 1st!", and he said " this is my first day of my shift from last month. I may need to check the regs". I politely agreed. Long story- but could also be an officer without up to date info.
