No punishment could be too severe!
honestly I think what the men did didn't desrve to lose boat and fined
honestly it's no big deal
Quotehonestly I think what the men did didn't desrve to lose boat and finedhonestly it's no big deal
You're kidding right? There are always maximum punishments set up for each law. These guys deserve what the judge gives them.
sounds like a bunch of old timers. sheesh thats a lot of fish over 3 days. where is that 7 grand gonna go i wonder!

Honestly, we don't get to pick and choose the laws we're going to obey.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
I am from where those guys are. Well in the same area. I hope Georgia and Tennessee revoke their licenses here too.
there is dumb and then there is STUPID.........too bad they didn't get some jail time.
looks like they are going to lose their boats. almost as good as jail
i know its a bad thing
but i sometimes feel like post things that will cause stir in the thread for my fun
I am just SOOOO glad that they are not Mexican or Hispanic descent. I hear a lot of people complain that they always take everything they catch. That would have just about put a nail on the coffin for that stereotype.
I am Guatemalan and that is something I DO NOT want to be stuck with every time I go out fishing...

Is this a joke?? What are you trying to say?? I don't understand you!!!! That's the problem these days. Why follow the laws?? Where's the fine money going?? Come on!!!! What happened to doing what you are supposed to do when no one is watching just because it's the right thing to do. This country is DOOMED!!! These people now out number the good folk.

I suppose "acting like a teenager" is par for
the course when you're just 19, but NO ONE
appreciates your "humor".

Clueless and thoughtless is what you are.
I can't believe what I just read in this thread. Some of you are just clueless.
Take the boats and all tackle
Take the vehicles used to haul the boats
Give them jail time
Revoke all hunting and fishing license in home states.
These guys should never have the opportunity to ever enjoy the fishing and hunting privileges that we all try to protect.
Personally I hope they don't see home for a long while.
You notice they didn't go to Dale Hollow or Center Hill and do that. For that reason alone they need to hang em cause they knew what they were doing.... >
"Oddly enough, the men said they had also caught a few walleye, which they released. "
Thats the part that got me. I hope they lose their boats and they were new 21+ bass boats. ;D
Agree with you guys, for them to come up to Erie and poach smallies - they must be serious enough bass fishermen. Plus they released the walleyes?? I'd rather eat a walleye!
Fine 'em all to repay costs for time staking them out, revoke fishing and hunting privileges for life, and sell their tackle or donate to some youth group.
The comment about meixicans - i dont care what you are. theres no room for stereotypes or racist comments here. leave it at home.
as for the kid. becareful what you say on here. alot of people can take things the wrong way.
As for the old timers. shesh. if they were old men fishing off shore catching one or two and getting busted...sure its the law, but i'd say give them a break. no excuse for the law, but slap on the wrist. but its apparent these are avid fishermen catching that man bass in a couple days. what in the world are they going to do with that many small mouth bass anyways. on another note: where is this spot!!
It kills me that people do things like this... Bunch of Morons.
On a side note, where is the spot?
With no regard like that, they deserve the fullest punishment under the law. I just wish it applied to the CDOW and USFWS for what they are doing in my state, killing largemouth and smallmouth in our rivers and leaving them to rot on the banks.
Ok for all those who "can't believe the Mexican stereotypes",
HELLO????? Are you reading what I wrote?
IT ALREADY IS A STEREOTYPE. As a matter of fact, TONS of people already say it at my fishing club. They crap on "Mexicans" or any "Mexican" looking people for doing exactly what I said. They complain that they use fisheries, trash them and take out all the fish to feed their families.
Can one of you PLEASE explain to me how this is remotely close to being raciest?
I would love to have you explain to me how my actions were out of line. Just because I am approaching a sensitive and charged subject does not mean that I can't address it at all.

You were glad that they weren't hispanic because it would have furthered a stereotype that you find personally hurtful. Makes perfect sense, don't worry about the other guys, they just didn't read it well enough.
Jesus thanks man, I really felt like I was going crazy lol
** MODERATOR NOTE**
We NEVER tolerate racist remarks.
If this were the case the post would have
been removed.

Sometimes I like to respond to "threads" by people who post "threads" just to get a reaction. Thank you for revealing your ignorance in life and fishing. May you take this opportunity to grow up and maybe think about quitting your posting since you bring nothing to the table. License, boat, equipment, lifetime ban, and hung by the toe nails should always be a part of the punishment. That's a HUGE hit on the population of smallies in that water--the amount of time it took to get those 141 smallies...CHUMPS--100% CHUMPS...they should be made to show up at a tournament and be introduced as rapers and pilligers of fish and then made to "walk-the-gauntlet". AND...those who post on here just to get a reaction should think about finding another site to practice their immaturity--please, just go away. Fish on. John. P.S. I got my biggest smallie yesterday, 25 3/4 inch, out of a creek that hasn't been "molested". Nothin' like a "healthy" fish population, void of "stealers".
No edits, no deletions.
I think we're all on the same page here,
but this thread has run its course.
Good night Irene.
