I do not know who the game warden was today on Bob Sandlin, but we were very impressed with his professionalism and character. My Dad and I fished a tournament today and saw the officer check out a pontoon boat. A few minutes later, he ran to a point and dropped a bouy marker. He then idled back to the pontoon boat and stayed there a few minutes. He then made his way to us. He asked if we were fishing a tournament and we said yes. He shot the breeze with us for a few minutes and then said that he would leave us alone for our last hour of fishing. I asked him about the bouy marker he dropped. He said the folks in the pontoon boat wanted to catch crappie so he marked a brushpile for them that he had had caught fish out of earlier in the week. With all of the bad [censored] going on in the world today, it was refreshing to witness this guy demonstrating the high level of respect and character that he did!!!

In 60 yrs. of hunting and fishing I've only known of 1 warden that wasn't very professional in the discharge of his duties , and the other wardens didn't like him either. The vast majority have always been courteous and helpful when asked.

That must have been Heath Taylor.

Apparently you have never met Heath. He is one of the nicest guys out there and I highly doubt he would ever do anything remotely negative to the water or wildlife. Not to mention he would lose a career over some silly tournament low dollar tournament.

I have had similar dealings with GW's, both here and abroad. They are there to protect the resources we love, and keep everyone safe and free from discourteous jet fleas,lol. seriously, I am glad to see them on the water doing their job.
