Three charged in another case of salmon chucking

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Alaska Peninsula
Type: Failing to retain all caught salmon
On 7/13/23 Alaska Wildlife Troopers operating off the Kodiak-based patrol vessel Cama'i contacted Jose Medina, 54, Thrasher Medina, 26, and Nick Gould, 28, all of King Cove. Jose Medina was identified as the permit holder for the commercial setnet fishing vessel Sea Wolf, while Thrasher Medina and Gould were identified as the crewmembers of the vessel. Prior to contacting the crew of the Sea Wolf, troopers observed salmon being thrown back into the water by the crew of the fishing vessel while they were commercial fishing in East Anchor Cove. All members of the vessel were issued summonses to appear in court for failing to retain all caught salmon. Arraignment is set for 8/24/23 in the Anchorage court.
