It’s just as likely that a big cooler with all the fish was put on the gunnel before hopping down to the trailer and it went overboard. It’s hard to imagine that someone was trying to avoid getting caught by dumping the fish at the ramp.

No one other than the person / people responsible know what happened but a cooler falling over at the launch would just require a net or gaff to retrieve them in water that shallow. Whatever the reason, sad to see fish of any nature killed and let go to waste. Why would anyone discard fish at a ramp? If they're not on their boat and not seen tossing them overboard if a CO was in the vicinity, they can't be fined. All they'd need to say is someone else must have dumped them.
