Heres a story..
I've fished Desoto Bend numerous times and had good luck on Catfish. . So me being the sportsman I am.. I send a couple guys out last sunday.. give directions to my honey Holes...
3 people were out and recieved a visit from FGW.... Well they didnt read up on the rules and regs for Federal Land...
2 poles per person..
Needless to say they had 15 poles out and did really well on cats.. . Mr. Game Warden stated the facts that 15 poles were to many and that its a 100.00 fine per pole over the 2.. then he stated its 175.00 per fish taken illegally.. then it would be another 150.00 fine for every fish that wouldnt swim away when he put them back in the hole..
all in all totaling the fish they had the fine would of been 1750.00..
Luckly for them Mr. FGW was in a forgiving mood and let them go with a warning...
So.. Lesson Learned..
Make sure your up to date with all the state Regs.. And for us going North.. Pay Close attention to details..
Just ask Bojihawk.....
