I don't see how the officer, especially since he even asked the guy "What do you think I should do", and got the reply he did, is at any fault.
However a $200 for not pinching one of the many barbs, is not proportional to the offense IMO. I would go to court and explain my feeling to the judge, although I wouldn't expect any sympathy at the same time.

Just a question, what defines a "Barbless" Hook? You can pinch the things off the best you can with pliers but there is always a little bump left there from the barb. Should a guy be filing them right off or is the pliers good enough?

I think the Warden should have given a warning in this circumstance. Now Dirtyman will not be favorable towards wardens. Although most are reasonable but some think they own the resource.
I fish border waters. Half in SK and half in AB. I have two contains for my jigs, one barb less and one Barbed. In Alta I use the barb less and in Sask I use barbed most of the time. Sometimes I use a special jig that is barb less in SK but it doesn't matter in SK.

Soon we wont be allowed to use a hook at all or maybe rubber ones that bend easy , so the fish cant stay on, or the worm.
Bout the only thing we can do legally now is buy a bludy license , after that if you catch something you,d better not get caught , or its off to jail you go.

I thought barbs weren't illegal now? I still pinch mine because I always catch and release. But I thought the law changed a few years ago?

Thread was from 2009, but still wondering if they are in fact still illegal. I heard someone say they forgot to include in the 2015 regs but they are still illegal

It wasn't in the regs a few years ago. 2012 or 2013 I think. But they never made it back in.
I don't get out as much as I want to but I have ALWAYS crimped my barbs. Not because I'm better or more ethical but only because I am strictly catch and release. If I don't have to handle the fish, the better off they will be.

Barbless Hooks
Fishing
The Government of Alberta is asking Alberta’s anglers to keep barbed hooks out of our waters.
Last fall, an inadvertent federal amendment to the Alberta Fishery Regulations removed the barbed hook ban. The omission was not immediately noted and has affected about 600 Albertans who were ticketed for using barbed hooks.
Officials from Alberta Environment and Parks and Justice and Solicitor General are working to rectify the problem by withdrawing charges and reversing wrongful convictions and fines for those individuals affected since September 2011.
We’re working with the Government of Canada to determine the appropriate next steps as we consider the current lack of a barbed hook ban.
In the meantime, we encourage Alberta’s anglers to continue to use barbless hooks and remember that we are promoting proper handling techniques for all fish to best ensure their survival once released.
