I went to launch my boat this morning anf the ramps were full of Catfish carcesses. Some one had filleted a bunch of Catfish and tossed them on the ramps. They only filleted the part behind the ribs to the tail. That was a waste of fish not to mention the darn mess they left!

Run in to that all the time at a lake I fish. Bad part is they have several trash cans at the cleaning area but some people can't seem to get the carcasses in the barrels.
I saw a bunch of buzzards sitting beside the road near my house the other day. When I pulled up someone had dumped about 20 big catfish carcasses. So I guess it wasn't to bad, it just looks bad to the public, like the boneheads who dump their deer carasses beside the road.
Haven't seen any in awhile, but some joker used to dump crappie remnants
right on the boat ramp at Bay Springs. Could be wrong, but it just hit me
that they're wanting to show off in some way. There were usually a bunch
of 'em, but not the size I'd be bragging about

Where are/were the game wardons or other officials?..............Someone saw them and should have reported them for littering etc. I really get P.O.'d when I see crap like that. people can be so foolish!

I have seen some beaver trappers on the Missouri river leave behind limbs on the ramp. Looks pretty trashy to me trying to put a boat in over 12 legs.
I have a friend who returns the carcasses to the waters from where they came, but in deeper water. I have no doubt they were taken care of in short order. To trash a common area as y'all describe is unacceptable. They need to have some manners explained to them.

We have a weekend guy down here that thought showing off his catfish hanging on chainlink fence was impressive,....that is until the Okla. Wildlife Dept. Chief game warden paid him a visit, then gave him 2 options...follow the disposal regulations, or pick which fine amount he was willing to pay!!! as I recall around $275.00 plus court costs. pictures of the catch are more to his liking now.
