NO ... it's "illegal" whether you get caught or not. Crappie.com does not condone activities that are illegal, under any circumstances.

If the minnows CAME from the the lake ... no problem. If the minnows came from somewhere else ... he might have been testing you, to see if you were compliant with the suggestion that live bait not be dumped into the lake, but on the shore. If he were serious ... I'd suggest he read the highlighted block on the Aquatic Nuisance Species page of the Ky Fishing/Boating Guide, where it says : DISPOSE of unwanted livebait on shore – DO NOTSTOCK THE LAKE!
