above and beyond the call..........

made a wrong turn at sardis sunday and ended up stuck in a foot of water and the water pump quit working. two wardens not only towed me in but checked the hose that the water flows thru and it was completely stopped up with mud. in less that ten minutes they had it cleared out, and i was on my way. no one should ever get upset being checked by these folks, they have a job to do and do it well. thanks guys.....

Very cool, glad things worked out. The guys in the GreenJeans are an asset for sure.

Thanks for sharing Windstone.

Nothing like the ole I stuck my boat routine to keep them diverted from the cooler full of coors light and short fish. Slick. Very slick

Glad they were there for you. Good job Mr. GreenJeans!!

I've been checked several times, and they've ALWAYS been courteous and professional with me. I've always been legal too tho!!! WTG Green Jeans!!!

you ain't right and neva will be........................

Dat boat doesn't look fast enough to catch anyone.

They are a great bunch of guys with a sometimes unpopular job to do. They're there for help if you need it though. Glad it worked out for you.

Good job by the game wardens.

If'n the lake is land locked they aint gotta be fast!!:biggrin

Barbie and I got checked at Teckville when we took out Sunday. Both of the game wardens we dealt with were professional and courteous.
I had a fish I had not properly measured in the livewell. The game warden went as far as darn near squishing its guts out to make it stretch to the 12" mark. I can honestly say if the roles had been reversed he would have got a ticket.
Lesson learned.

Glad it worked out great for you.....most of all the mr. green jeans are great people and will help in any way they can but it only takes one bad one to make everyone bad mouth them. And most of the ones that talk bad or the outlaws anyway trying to slip out short or over the limit fish.
Great post.

I agree. They were professional and courteous when they wrote out my ticket about this time last year. :)

Wannabe...

we were checked at enid by three wardens, 2 of which i knew.............they were VERY courteous, polite, and downright friendly.........we chatted about a lot of things for 15 inutes or so, lol. these guys have a tough job, and they mostly do it well, so lets give them credit for what they do............they are only enforcing the rules and regulations,which is their job.

Always good to see posts about the good things they do other than just the folks venting about getting caught. Thanks.

I had the pleasure of hearing your story while at Arkansas camp!! That had to suck big time!!

Last year Jacob and our son went to Enid to give the boat a test run. Needless to say at 7 yrs old Riley wasn't much help. Sooooo...Jacob had a rope hooked to the boat and the trailer (so he thought) and unloaded. Needless to say the boat went on out into the lake. It was Feb. so he couldn't swim after it. So he went to the station and the greenjeans took him and Riley for a spin on their center console boat and gave Riley stickers, coloring books, frisbees and some other stuff. We have been checked twice this year as well...both at Sardis and Enid and they have all been very nice to us. Even when Jacob's license were expired by a week at Sardis!!

Windstone, next time asl them what the going rate on crappie is. I guarantee you will get a rise of them. lol

Not to mention the .40 cal firepower. You can't outrun the 2way or the .40 cal.

Been checked a couple of times those 2 Wardens and they have always been professional and courteous and have had some good conversations with them after the business was done. I for one am glad we have the guys we have doing the job they do. If it wasn't for them we would not have the Fishery we al so enjoy in this state. I'd hate to think what it would be like in a couple of years with out the enforcement job these guys do.Thumbs Up

Me too Wannabe....they were real nice to me to.

About 6 or 7 years ago, I was checked at Enid. After checking my livewell and feeling sorry for me, the Game Warden told me where to fish the next day and what to use. I limited out by 10:00 in the morning. He was at the ramp again the next day when I took out. I went over and shook his hand and thanked him for the tip. Very nice guy!!!
