Good job in getting them caught. Looks like you should be up for something. "Operation Game Thief is Texas' wildlife Crime-stoppers program, offering rewards of up to $1,000.00 for information leading to the arrest and conviction for a wildlife crime. Begun in 1981 as a result of laws passed by the 67th Legislature to help curtail poaching, the program, a function of the law enforcement division of Texas Parks and Wildlife, is highly successful, having been responsible for the payment of over $195,000.00 in rewards." http://www.ogttx.com/about.cfm The key words here are "rewards up to $1000". That could mean the reward could ranging from .01 - $1000. I have emailed the TPWD inquiring about the reward. I gave them all the information about the incident. Gave the GW's name and number. Now, just waiting for a reply....wish me luck!!!

Well you did the right thing to begin with so anything more is just icing. True that! I think in this economy, you'll be lucky to get a thank you. Good job on standing up for fishermen everywhere.

Thank you for doing the right thing. It makes me angry when I see people breaking the laws of our fisheries.
