I was just getting ready to post this same article. Crazy. They should lose their fishing license for many years IMO.
One of my friends is a retired game warden as of last year, it happen pretty regular just doesn't get on the news.
He said usually they get a tip for stuff like this, he said they had a big bust a few years ago, all the fish fillets were vacum packed and frozen all ready, sad part is all the fish or fillets have to be thrown away by Minn law.
If you're right about the fish having to be thrown away, that's just stupid. Donate it to a needy organization or family.
Yeah, that sounds good & a decent thing to do. Unfortunately, there's no way to know how well the fish were cleaned .... so it's just a law suit waiting to happen if someone gets sick, gets a bone in the throat, etc.Quote:

That's insane.Just imagine the number of people that never get caught.
That's a crying shame. I do not understand people taking more than what they need for a meal or two.
"Authorities followed the tip and tracked down two vehicles belonging to the group reported at the lake. One of the vehicles led to Mountain Lake couple, Isouvahn Xayachack, 70, and Chanhthone Phongsim, 60, the Star reported.... Others in the group were contacted and investigated, but no other instances of illegal crappie possession were found. However, Kaew Chakvong, a member of the group, was cited for fishing without a valid license, the Star reported."
Diversity is our strength. :rolleyes:
those dont even look like keepers.Quote:

i fish quite a bit the whole year and catch quite a few crappie throughout the year. i also coach both of my sons baseball teams and like to save up for end of the year fish frys. most on the team do not fish and this is the one time of the year that they actually eat real fish not some store bought crap. i feed between 100 and 120 people from fish that myself and both boys have caught and dressed and packaged and fryed up.Quote:
