And to top it off the purpose is like that of a brain spike, to dispatch the fish. The term take is used in the regulations and describes the entire act of fishing so you are just moving the brain spike before the landing of the fish but still in the act of the take.

Does anyone see holes in this logic?

Good logic, I use a club after, why not a kage before. Pm sent. SALE pending.
