Default regulaion question

Here's one to ponder. Curious what you guys think.
I caught a pike the other day with two large smelt sized burbot babies in his stomach.
Could you use those burbot as bait?
Would that be considered using a game fish as bait, or using fish guts as bait?
I fed them to the kitties with the rest of the guts, but I've been thinking about that ever since

I would say your best to not use any food you find in a fishes stomach as bait. Assuming the baby burbot were in good condition you would have the issue proving or explaining to fish and game that the burbot were already dead in a pike. I think you made the correct call by not using them as bait.

Default Burbot

I've talked with Dave Park senior fisheries Bio and according to him Burbot are listed as game fish and therefore illegal to waste. However he admits that the regs have not been edited to reflect this legislation but expects the publishers to catch this change soon.

I was wondering a similar thing last weekend I noticed in the shiner minnows I bought there were a lot of baby perch mixed in. Peach are game fish so I started to check the minnows before I used them I don't want to get into trouble just because I bought bait and didn't look at what I was actually using.
