Fish and game regulation section 28.65 states no fin fish to be taken in such a manner that the fish does not take the hook voluntarily in its mouth. It also states (No person shall take fin fish from any boat or other floating device in oceans waters without having a landing net in possissinon.)Tubers and yakers take note. The Net size shall be not less than 18 inches.in diameter.

I learned my lesson about snagging when, one day, in a fit of genious, I whacked the side of a large mola with a jig. Not only is messing with a mola bad karma, but I had a 9' jig stick and a big load of very angry mola steaking straight down at mach 2. Lesson learned, I had to repent to the fish gods for some time for that stupid trick, as well as sporting a nice sore back! DON'T SNAG ANY FISH!!! If you can't hook them proper, you don't deserve to be involved with the fish.

The first regulation is for freshwater, not saltwater, I don't know what the difference is though.

And definitely should be made illegal! That takes all of the challenge out of the sport! Also, for every big corbina that is snagged, I wonder how many undersized and/or other species have been snagged and injured/killed while trying to get that "lunker"!?

Not to throw oil on the fire, but keep in mind that catching baitfish, ie. perch, smelt, brownbaits, sardines and chovies is often done by a 'snag-rig'.
Many people do not buy bait, or have the option of buying bait, and catch bait for fishing off small craft. Keep this in mind when you start looking at restricting methods of catch.
Before jumping to start closing down things, we need to establish if A. the species can support the current pressure B. the method of take in proportion to the other methods of take (ie. 10% via snag rigs, 40% via bait, 50% via flies/lures)
Keep in mind that we have many, many different agencies trying to shut everything we do down, so I think that we need to be careful when proposing closures.

PS I am all for conservation of species at optimal take levels, and not for promoting non-sportive methods of take.

It shouldnt be illegal beacause u hooked the fish, u need a hook to fish and if a fish gets snaged it should be illegal to keep it. it happins rarely anyways there shouldnt be a law for it.<--thats my opinion.
