Thank Dems for turning this country into a 3rd world shit hole. It’s become like a public toilet, anyone and everyone is welcome to come in and take a huge dump.

Did they get to keep the fish? No?
It pisses me off when they tighten regs and then see people up on the rt 50 bridge in OC keeping an 8" flounder or a 15" striped bass.
I've made calls to DNR several times and waited to see if they showed up. NO.
Back when I would night fish on the bridge with my kids for over a decade we saw a DNR office walk the bridge checking catches ONCE!
For every fish you see in an article like that, there are thousands times more poached and not caught. If they had dam citation quotas for undersized fish like state cops have for giving tickets, there would be more of the peckers caught.

Peckers will keep peckin' until their beaks are broken. The risk/reward scale is far in favor of the reward and won't tip until the penalty is severe enough.

Big Elk Creek is stocked with trout. They were seen fishing with nets and carrying the catch away in five gallon buckets.

I've caught Vietnamese doing the same thing on Big Hunting Creek.
I turned them in after trying to convince them they were in the wrong. Fortunately, all the fish survived that day.
Start caning them in public. 1 lash for each illegal fish. They won’t do it again

This. They usually catch a few people a week doing this (though not to these extreme numbers). Im sure a lot of the offenders think they just won’t pay because it’s not a “real ticket” but judges can issue bench warrants for these.

They have no give. Ever catch 40-50lb yellowfins on a kite rod? Friggin brutal!

Never ceases to amaze me. They(litterers) lug all that beer and food into the outdoors, yet once it's all nice empty and light, they never have the energy to carry out the remains.
