Perhaps you might want to review the WDFW Fishing Rules.
Page 17 has this to say about releasing fish while using bait.
TROUT: The combined daily limit for an angler that fishes in both rivers and lakes on the same day is 5 TROUT. In the combined
daily limit, only 2 TROUT may be from rivers, except as provided for EASTERN BROOK TROUT.
Brown Trout Cutthroat Trout
Rainbow Trout Lake Trout
Golden Trout Kokanee
TIGER TROUT Landlocked
Grayling ? Atlantic, ? Chinook, ? and Coho Salmon
In rivers, streams, and beaver ponds: Min. size 8". Daily limit 2. When fishing with bait, all TROUT
(except STEELHEAD) equal to or greater than the minimum size are counted as part of the daily limit
whether kept or released.
In lakes, ponds, and reservoirs: No min. size. Daily limit 5. When fishing with bait, all TROUT
(except STEELHEAD) equal to or greater than the minimum size are counted as part of the daily limit
whether kept or released.

5/10/2015 8:01:00 PMYeah, I very much appreciate the info. I did forget to say that I caught only two fish under 13" both of which threw back. Senior kept all five of his he caught and I kept 3. Thanks for keeping the honest, honest though!
