The COs are def still watching with binocs all camod out. But I've never had a problem with them. Even had a boat issue they were cool about. I've heard the same from others, but have never had a problem, nor have any of my friends that go, and have snagged plenty of fish and released, and kept fair hooked ones. Run a GoPro if your that worried about it! They you have proof!
