Fisherman charged with salmon, halibut violations

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Sitka
Type: Multiple violations
On 7/10/22 Alaska Wildlife Troopers observed an offload of commercial salmon from the F/V Charity to a local processor. Investigation revealed a disfigured, suspected undersized king salmon and a small halibut onboard the vessel after the offload. Permit holder Jordan D. Lewis, 29, of Washington, was cited for retaining halibut on commercial gear in violation of IPHC regulations, mutilating or disfiguring a king salmon in a manner to prevent size determination, and failing to have photo identification available.
