Hey Smalls .....

[Ketchn]

That could add up quickly

reported violations seem to get more attention , they ketched 3 fellas home from college at thanksgiving one year on a private dock with 48 unders .....
one of the locals called him after watching them a while ....
hear tell they got cuffed and hauled off and fined in the area of WOW .....
said he went straight to them past a herd of folks and grabbed the basket out of the water and started slapping cuffs on them ....
reporting violations often get action pretty quickly , some out of state fossil hunters were raping my creek about 2 years ago , one call , one time and he was there in a flash and never seen them again .....
can't collect fossils here without the right permits and for sure not off my property and or any right of ways or state owned land either .

That is good that a call gets action

[Ketchn]

That is good that a call gets action

it also depends on the game warden in the county you call in on , some don't seem as interested as others for sure .....
I will likely call in if I see flagrant or dangerous actions in the field and or on the water , it aint fair or right to abuse the resources and regulations ....

[DockShootinJack]

Very true. A few people can ruin a resource for many people

[Ketchn]

one over here spent about 2 years sending the masses to a small lake with big fish on social media platforms .
they raped , pillaged and plundered it to the point it still hasn't recovered .
he eventually made enough folks mad at his over harvesting that they sent the law after him to ketch him .
it was pretty well known he was doing lots of illegal things and once the law caught up to him .
he went the way of the see ya later venue .

[DockShootinJack]

That sounds like a good direction for him to go

[Ketchn]

That sounds like a good direction for him to go

made most of us folks in these parts quite happy to say see ya later .....

I am a think'n maybe a thread on the smallest catch? I have caught several tiny ones myself and wonder just how such a small fish can tackle such a large bait.
ignore the old ugly guy
