Unregistered trolling motor? Why do you have to register a trolling motor???

Also, I just remembered that I got checked at a city lake in Evansville. It was me, my daughter and 5 young kids. So, that could be a profile to look for. I had a CO tell me they already know if you have a license or not or if you are breaking any laws just by the way you present yourself.
