I agree with Stinkfoot 100%. What will be the deterrent for potential violators if game agents can't check vessels and vehicles for illegally stashed fish and game. I've seen a number of individuals take wild fish illegally and high-speed it to their cars. If random searches catch a few of these guys....the sportsmen who obey the laws shouldn't have a problem. The fish cops should do whatever is reasonable to search out illegally possed fish and game. Do it for the greater good. A film canister is not a reasonable place to find an illegal fish however! Happy New Year!
