I saw three men fishing for Salmon today, they were using spoon.

One of the guy who caught the fish lift it up and other man came with a big plastic bag, probably 6" x 6". 

Then the guy with salmon he bend the salmon by lifting its tail and head up make a U shape while the other guy brought the bag close to the fish.

Right away fish started releasing all the eggs into the plastic bag. They filled the bag and put it beside another 3 bags filled with Salmon eggs already.

Then they released the fish.

I did not understand what the hell they were doing. Have you guys seen anyone doing anything like that before? Is that illegal, besides catching salmon even though the season has ended ?

Thanks
