Is it legal to keep fish and eels caught via hoop nets?

That's a no on fish, probably on eels, too, but that's just a guess.

I would say eels classify as fish as far as the regs go on hoop nets. I caught a rather large sculpin in my net monday night and as much as I enjoy sculpin meat, it wasnt worth the risk and it went back in.

Eels are an Anguilliforme. A type of fish. I wouldn't risk it

Stay safe guys, I could be wrong but I believe you cannot keep any fish that is caught in a hoopnet. All fish have to be caught on hook and line.

You are not wrong. Really hate having to let the big sculpin go.

There you go. People get busted for this stuff all the time. Unless they are bait or you have a rod and reel, you should not have any fish on your kayak while hooping.

Personally I would never bring a Eel that size onto a kayak, or touch it, good way to loose a finger or even something more valuable like your nuts.

What if on the hoop line I have a few feet of fishing line attached with hook and bait?
