I was out last weekend and the river we were fishing you can't fish out of the boat or use bait or barbed hooks.We were fishing and all of a sudden we were approached by two game wardens in the middle of nowhere.They asked to see our riggs,no problem I walked up tothem and showed them my rig.They checked my friends and the other rods and rigs in the boat.They were very happy to see we were legal.He said he had checked 14 other boats this year and had ticketed every other boat.When we got to the takeout there was a boat with 3 guys in it (local) and they were not happy they got tickets for barbed hooks,bait and fishing out of the boat it cost them 450$ and all they could do was ***** about the game dept.

Kinda makes a fella feel good that some pay their due, eh? I love fishing stories with a happy ending........
