How in the world did he get nailed for 26 snagged fish?? Was he 22 over his limit or was he intentionally snagging them and releasing them??
Now if the fish cop was just sittin back watching him snag all these fish I have a problem with that. If the fish cop cared for the run he'd dtop him right away. If he sat back and watched him do it, then he wants some $$ for the state. That's the way I see it anyways.
Now if he was 22 over his limit, OUCH, that's another big bunch of $$.

I heard the other day that the hatchery isn't taking any more fish in. They're full up.
