Thread: Towed in Mr Green Jeans

Got stopped/checked on Nimrod two years ago, in the river. If it was those two guys, I'd give them a ride anytime. Good guys, efficient, no problems.

Two of us got stopped on Ark. River 4 years ago by what we now call "Frick and Frack". I think it was one guy training another newbie, but that's just a guess. They made me pull out the actual boat paperwork (the Nimrod guys said the side lettering was enough proof of registration) for registration, made me show the 'throw cushion', and asked both of us about 3-4 times each "Where do you work?" It was that last question that, when they drove off, made me mad. I wished afterwards we had said "BITE ME" to that question. We had ONE bass in the boat and he apparently measured 14.5". The limit was 15". They lectured us for a half hour. Basically, they were jerks. I regret to this day not lowering the boom on them, and not turning them in.

Haven't seen one since other than to wave driving down the road.

The ones we have here are polite and courteous. The regular officer was off duty and the two that showed up was I believe from Perry County and a trainee that recently started in our county. There are always some that rub folks the wrong way , best thing is try to be polite and cooperative as they have a job to do. Won't help to be rude or nasty , if you have a problem contact their supervisor.

You could file a complaint with their captain but the most likely outcome would have ended with "our officers did not break any state laws or regs and therefore the complaint has been dismissed".

Been there done that with ole R. Spurlock a few years back. Actually filed three formal complaints with the same result.
