There have been no knock/guns drawn raids by swat teams to investigate someone they suspected of taking too many fish. Not a commercial fisherman, a guy suspected of taking 2 too many bass.

Things like too many bass or some errant orchids are cause for a warning or some reasonable fine. Assuming, that is, the laws or regulations involved are reasonable.

Friend of mine came into her kitchen to find a Fish & Game agent holding a gun on her German Shepard. The dog caught him entering the house to search her freezer for dead wild turkeys. A neighbor had dropped a dime on her suggesting that she had been responsible for some poaching that was going on.

Naturally she was upset, but what really got her was that her prize import German Shepard came within an eyelash of getting shot.

This fisherman was walking up a hill with a cooler full of fish. A DNR official stopped him and asked to look in the cooler. The fisherman opened the cooler and exposed all the fish to the Official. The Official tells the guy he caught over his limit. The fisherman answered, ‘I didn’t catch these today. These are my pet fish. I bring them down here and let them swim around and when I am ready to go home I call them and they jump in the cooler and we go home’. The DNR Official says he wants to see that. So, the fisherman puts the fish in the water. The Offical asks the fisherman to call the fish back now. The fishman says, ‘what fish?’
