@ ranger632- you are a snitch and a rat. The epitome of the Karen/Darren culture in 2022. No doubt you would call the authorities from the safety of your own moving car or the safety of your home, instead of offering friendly education through fellowship, because you know that not minding your own business could get you punched in the face. Fishermen ratting on fishermen. Sad.
@plumbob - there is right and there is wrong. and then there is the law. If your leaders decreed that there must be a law passed that you will be obliged to pay a âcarbon taxâ (a tax just for existing and breathing), to combat g****l w*****g, or a fine imposed for collecting rainwater, or growing a garden on your own property, or that you need to purchase a license or permit to have a fireplace or wood-burning stove in your house, would you happily comply without question?
Well guess what, these ridiculous laws are already on the books in some places. But i digress. But to answer your question, âwhere do i fit in?â Itâs simple, and iâve explained in detail already. The concept of a fishing license is an absolute racket from top to bottom. Follow the money instead of licking game wardens and park rangers boots, unless it gives you some kind of thrill, to each his own. And please spare us the drivers license comparison. It needs to be proven that you are able to safely operate a motor vehicle so that you donât k**l someone. A 6 year old canât walk into a Ferrari dealership for test drives for good reason. So thereâs that. But again, I digress. Soon i will be eligible as an senior veteran to be exempt from having to obtain a fishing license at all? Why? The argument that itâs all about conservation and supporting restocking efforts goes right out the window then doesnât it? Why? How is it any different than some homeless guy with a few bluegill on his line to feed himself? Are you going to inspect his bucket ask him to show his papers to you? Of course youâre not. Snitch from afar? Why not just mind your own business? I personally couldnât care less about who has a fishing license and who doesnât. If you choose to be an obedient citizen and pay for a Liberty, than good for you. Not everyone has a home address or money or speaks english. Try to simply wish your fellow man tight lines and full bellies. Hatcheries/fisheries are nothing more than a smokescreen. I have zero interest in GMO sterile frankenfish. Stop relying on the State to solve problems with your money where problems donât exist. Their track record speaks for itself. Again, if you just follow the money, youâll see that itâs a total s**m all the way around. Otherwise I would highly encourage you to walk up and down these rivers and try the Darren/Karen control-freak Statist thing, and see how the common bank fisherman reacts towards you. Hope you know how to swim. Or you could try to educate through friendly fellowship as iâve stated in my original post. Pollution and evasive species control is what is needed, not more armed extortion agents and emaciated stocked GMO rainbow trout.

If your caught poaching any deserved respect for being a US Veteran is long gone. Your Scofflaw attitude reduces any respect you may of earned. If your a Veteran. My guess is you had a Dishonorable Discharge if you acted as you have on a Fishing Forum. Some get away with doing stupid things but the majority end up being caught. Donât challenge good Sportsmanship with ignorance of the law. My guess is Law Enforcement Software that is ever present on todays servers will track you down and do exactly what you deserve.
