As Chris said… Just be HONEST, the guy undoubtedly knew the law; hence, the reason for his DISHONESTY!!! Stupid move on his part. I do agree with some of the bag limits being a little ridiculoous; however, they are put in place for a reason by people with more knowledge about the fishing populations than myself. BTW, how can you can fought the officer for doing his job, just asking? Bartender have another drink!!! LOL

Get over it people!!! these guys are just doing their jobs. If you mess up and get caught, admit you guilt and plead for a lesser charge. if you lie, you gone get slammed every time. Good job LEO’S.

Overfishing has caused a decline in fish size and numbers over he last 40 years.
It’s good to see it enforced.

@bartender. First..what? Secondly FWC dont investigate drug crimes. Hence their agency name..fish and wildlife. Thirdly, there are those that have an issue with cops busting drug dealers and criminals so because cops cant please everybody how about they just arrest all criminals.

Knowing the officer as I do, he would have probably let him go had the Subject not lied about having any fish. Honesty is always the best policy.

This man was at least “working” to try and make ends meet…not looking for a handout. Think of the number of people those mullet could feed. If the fish were confiscated, what would be done with them? Maybe he should have told the FWC officer to stick around and he’d have some fresh fried mullet, hush puppies and slaw. Yum!

50 is the bag limit for mullet. This seems that the officer was a little over enthusiastic.

@ bartender, keeping that many fish are just as bad as night hunting or killing baby deer, so they are doing their jobs. Just saying

Why didn’t he confront him and ask him after he finished fishing as he was preparing to leave why follow him home?
