Years ago a guy named George would fish two rods and it was not legal. Enforcement had a long standing relationship with him as it was more of a running game of cat and mouse. I was told one day ole George was fishing with three rods and after substantial effort to sneak up on him they zoomed in to bust his butt! That is where things went South as George had set them up. You see the three rods had plugs out but no hooks on them and George informed them it was a nice day so he was simply out testing different gear not fishing. I was told the conversation was a rather interesting.
