I agree 100%. The officer was very polite, checked my license, fire extinguisher and PFD. Spot checked my livewell and I pulled all six fish I had at the time out for him in transparency and we measured them.

I hate to think that some of our own neighbors have been so complacent with not having any law enforcement presence whatsoever on two of our largest bodies of water that they have started to push the limit with short fish and exceeding the creep limit. While it does take five or ten minutes out of your day, the benefits to the fishery and public safety far outweighs the minor inconvenience in my book.
