Sitka troller charged with sportfishing violation

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Sitka Sound
Type: Sportfishing from commercial vessel
On 5/11/14 Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Sitka Post, contacted Roy E. Uber, 34, of Sitka, while he was sportfishing in western Sitka Sound. Investigation revealed that Uber and his vessel are currently licensed to participate in commercial hand troll fisheries and that he was legally sportfishing in an area closed to commercial hand trolling. Uber had sport-caught king salmon onboard the vessel which were not marked as sport-caught by immediately removing the dorsal fin. Uber was cited for failing to immediately mark the salmon, with arraignment set in Sitka District Court.
