Pole and Line:
A line with hook, attached to a pole (includes rod and reel)

* May be used to take GAME AND NONGAME fish.
* It is unlawful to take or attempt to take fish with one or more hooks attached to a line or artificial lure used in a manner to foul-hook a fish (snagging or jerking). A fish is foul-hooked when caught by a hook in an area other than the fish's mouth.
* Game and nongame fish may be taken by pole and line, except that in the Guadalupe River in Comal County from the second bridge crossing on River Road upstream to the easternmost bridge crossing on FM Road 306, rainbow and brown trout may not be retained when taken by any method except artificial lures. In this area only, artificial lures cannot contain or have attached either whole or portions, living or dead, of organisms such as fish, crayfish, insects (grubs, larvae or adults) or worms, any other animal or vegetable material, or synthetic scented materials. This does not prohibit the use of artificial lures that contain components of hair or feathers. It is an offense to possess rainbow and brown trout while fishing with any other device in that part of the Guadalupe River defined in this paragraph.

Yea Ok.

We get the idea. If it's illegal ( I did not know it was for "non-game" species) then by all means that's fine to say it. Do we have to see it on every thread?

Then read around it. If you saw someone you knew on here driving their boat dangerously, would you call them out on it.

Let's see, a poacher is openly posting his tactics and catches, and we should just hush. I see.

Kinna strange one can slice one in half with a bow and arrow,But snagging a rough fish is illegal??? Don't get it

This is one of those topics that no angler wants to talk about. Snagging fish is illegal and can get you into some serious trouble. After confering with other TFFers, I can not let this go over looked. This past Sunday I took my wife to go see how high the Sandylake Spillway was and still is. While there I noticed a fellow TFFer fishing. This individuals screen name on the forum is Fishist. He had a long stringer of smallmouth buffalo, so i decided to watch how he was catching them out of curiosity. I had never fished so I found it interesting to see how it was done. The way Fishist catches smallmouth buffalo is by rigging a snag lin consistant of 3 treble hooks about 8 inches apart and what looked like 2 oz. of lead weight at the end of his line and tries to snagg them. He is very sucessful at this. I would have called the game warrden but I forgot my cell phone at the house. I figured this was the next best thing. Fishist, quit poaching and learn how to catch fish the sportmans way, the right way, the legal way!

exactly my point !!
