Mr. Afia. So, here's the thing. On this right here, right here, it says Yeah, I missed uh in the the bold part it says number six, "Tips of the tails must be removed and salmon must be recorded in ink before concealing the salmon from plain view or transporting the salmon from the fishing site." Yeah, and you haven't filled it out. Yeah. So, here here's I hardly understand, but I explain. Okay. But I I I am going to write a citation for that. Oh. For failure to log the salmon. Cuz that's a big deal because if you make it home, if you make it all the way home, you it's like you never caught them and you can catch endless salmon. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, but I I I I get it, but you you have to follow the rules and it has to be recorded. Yeah, we All right. Well, but you did go on the Cassilo off, right? Yeah, we go to Cassilo. It's the same thing. It's the same rules. It's the same exact rules. And so, you guys were at the Chitna? At Chitna, yeah. Um Okay. And what is What's your phone number? Okay, sir. All right, took me a minute to find the statute. Um all right. Here. Can I give you a pen and you fill this out? Right here. Here's your pen. Here's your pen. And just complete that. And I got to get your copy. Hang on. Okay. So, what this is it's a citation for uh my flashlight correctly. Okay, if you'll if you'll hold that that way. Okay, so it's failure to log personal use fish. Uh Afia did fail to log the fish. To wit, Afia was contacted on a traffic stop for a moving violation and was found to be in possession of uh Wait. Wait. Okay. And you were found to be in possession of fish that were caught from personal use without them being logged. So, it's it's a $120 citation. Okay. So, can Can Yeah. What Okay. So, with this right here it's a $120 citation. You got three different ways to take care of it. You can either It's for the Glennallen court. But you can You can contact the court to pay it. You can pay it online if you go on that. There's a website right here. Or you can contest it, which means challenge it in court. And you have 30 days to take care of it to figure something out. So, with that, all you got to do is put the amount of fish that you caught. Go ahead and do that now. Can we wait? If you don't understand, wait. And that is it. All right. So you guys, the the reason why that's important, again, like I said, is because two things. One is people catch a lot of fish and they never report it. Oh, okay. And Fish and Game has to see the numbers. Okay. So we can manage the fish. Then The second thing is if you don't log them, Okay. then you come home, not you, but people, they get home and they can catch as many fish as they want. >> Oh, okay. Because they never put it on the thing. So that's why it's a citation. Yeah. The reason why we don't have fish is Friday because you know, my kids all left and >> Okay. All right, and drive safe, but if you if you get tired, just pull over and sleep. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay? Thank you. Okay. Yeah, it's on the it's on the back. Yeah. Yeah, so you can con- contact the Glenn It's the Glennallen Court, so you can call the court and and say and uh pay it that way. You can pay it online or you can say I want to fight it, I want to contest it, and you and you can call the court to set that up, too. Oh, okay. So all that is available. All right. All right, guys. All right, drive safe. In the end, he was cited for failing to record salmon, a $120 fine. After failing to pay, the fine went up to $190 and it was sent to collections.
