Talked to a buddy today who ran into a couple of guys jug fishing. He said they had over 40 jugs in the water and each jug had 5 hooks on it. If I did my math right that's atleast 140 hooks in the water per man. They also told him they were using the belly meat off of the catfish that they were catching as bait. Just wrong and they are going to over fish a lake. They said they keep everything they catch

Im not against inviting every one you know to a big fish fry by any means trust you me, but thats just stupid. Im guessing their prolly keeping 1-200lbs of fish a trip which is an un godly amount. Always C&R the monsters- I released the cat in my sig, and I wanted to eat him but i didnt thats whats important

getting on here and griping about it does nothing and if they are still out there doing it then you need to be giving operation game theif a call with descriptions accounts ect

Guys like that usually are not on this forum. If you alert th GW's they will investigate. They care about our resourses and want to protect them. I have found in the past that GW's are very eager to follow up on tips.

if they are keeping everything they catch they are probably going over even a two man limit. and they are using a game fish for a bait.

Over 40 jugs. So that would put them over the legal limit.

Put the game wardens number in your phone. If you see someone obviously breaking the law it is you duty to report them immediately. Griping on the forum does nothing.

Fisherman are allowed 100 hooks per so they maybe with in the law, but if they are they won't mind being checked out by a GW.
