Some people just don't care about limits.They also don't understand why they are there.Thanks for the post Richard!

 

[Catfish 1]

thanks for the report...appreciated...

 

[SpurHunter]

That is truly disgusting!!!!!!!!!

 

[Buoy-Master]

Its rare to cruise through Soddy and see 1 game warden with lights on and another in hot pursuit to a parking lot...LOL.
Great job TWRA!

The law is the law! We pay too much for licenses and permits to having good fishing waters and let something like this pass. Good job TWRA! Thanks for the report. emoToast

I wonder what they did with the fish? Hopefully they were put to good use.

 

[Buoy-Master]

I'd rather them just charge 111 violations instead of 19. These guys knew what they were doing.
Never the less...I hope they loose all rights forever.

Thanks Richard....great report.

I hope they get Judge Moon and he confiscates all of their fishing equipment including their boat/motor and impounds the vehicle that they got to the lake in. Also that they never get another license to hunt or fish in this state again, emoEnforce
Great job from Matt and all the other Officers, emoThumbsup You did your part now lets see the judicial bench do their's, emoThumbsup

those damn crappie fisherman good thing i cant catch any anyway

 

[Bubbakat]

thanks Richard and thanks to the tipster for his good info.

 

[Possum]

If they don't get Judge Moon they will probably get off with a slap on the wrist. Thats just greed. How can someone eat that many fish? Why were the fish not cleaned from day before? Wow.

 

[Hagen]

Doesn't he fish dogfights and tournaments?

 

[Guest]

What can anyone say, this is terrible, hope he gets what is coming to him.</p>

</p>

Did anyone by any chance find out where this hole was?</p>

 

[Hank's Dad]

They should take their gear, boat, truck and house. They should also be put on a list here and every other fishing site that bans them from fishing any tournaments. I actually can think of a few more things that should be done to them.

 

[Dixie Boy]

What color were they using???

 

[profisher89]

Is this the same Bill Bartlett that fishes bass tournaments?

 

[drumking]

Why only 19 violations when there were actually 111 violations? Is it to get the judge to go lightly on them? Their licenses should be taken from them permantly, but they would still fish. Those kind of people have no regard for the law or consideration for other crappie fishermen. Perhaps it is because they coperated with the game wardens.

Thanks to you, Matt Majors and the other guys who helped you nab these fishing criminals. I'm sure that many of the CFF members will be on the lookout for such abusive behavior and will gladly report it to you guys. emoGeezer
