Illegal Bass Bust

[rsimms]

It's a common complaint among bass anglers who claim they often see people keeping under-sized fish. One of those complaints turned into an arrest in Marion County recently.

Unbelievable. Especially when you take into account how many successful spawns each one of these fish would have had left. That's the equivalent to millions of potential fish that will not be in our lake because if this one incident.

Terrible !

Unbelievable

Stuff like this really pisses me off. Glad to see that they were caught.

I hope that this stops them from doing this again, but who knows? Maybe they will just be more careful not to get caught. They need jail time along with a hefty fine and suspending their licenses if they even have them. People who tend to break the law probably don't get their licenses either. emoGeezer

Despicable.

 

[Muskrat]

That's awful. No telling how many illegal bass these guys kept in the past before they got caught. emoMad

I am glad they got caught, but it makes you wonder how many times they got away with it to keep that number of fish.

Glad they were caught They are probably illegal immigrants and will be back doing the same thing shortly

My question is where did they find that many fish on Nickajack? I couldn't catch that many in a day of any size!

 

[djsmarinelectronics]

I will definitely be looking for Running Water Creek

 

[WackemandStackem11]

Well that's all but three fish that live in that septic tank! Lol

I think a little jail time and a hefty fine should be in order.
