Jesus just left Chicago, and he's bound for New Orleans.
He was just teaching a man to fish
It pisses me off when they tighten regs and then see people up on the rt 50 bridge in OC keeping an 8" flounder or a 15" striped bass.
I've made calls to DNR several times and waited to see if they showed up. NO.
Back when I would night fish on the bridge with my kids for over a decade we saw a DNR office walk the bridge checking catches ONCE!
For every fish you see in an article like that, there are thousands times more poached and not caught. If they had dam citation quotas for undersized fish like state cops have for giving tickets, there would be more of the peckers caught.
Big Elk Creek is stocked with trout. They were seen fishing with nets and carrying the catch away in five gallon buckets.
To the contrary. They will show up, pay in cash, and go back out the next day and do it all over again. It is more profitable for them to occasionally get caught and pay a fine than to do things above the table. This is been going on here for decades. The penalties aren't harsh enough to deter these people.
Those who are caught are a tiny fraction of the offenders.
Offenders should be publicly Caned
With a tunatrollingkite rod
They have no give. Ever catch 40-50lb yellowfins on a kite rod? Friggin brutal!
As a law abiding citizen and outdoorsman, I feel that poachers and rule breakers should be harshly dealt with. Those are "our" fish.
And BTW, pick up the GD trash that you bring.
