Officer Land was on patrol in Santa Rosa Sound when he observed an individual fishing in a small vessel near Big Sabine. Officer Land approached the vessel to conduct a vessel safety check and marine fisheries inspection. He asked the fisherman if he had caught any fish. The fisherman replied by asking what the size limit was for speckled trout. He then raised a stringer from the side of his vessel to reveal three undersized spotted sea trout. Officer Land issued the fisherman a notice to appear for possession of undersized trout.

    Always educate yourself of fishing regs. before you go, now this guy probably has a misdemeanor and has to pay fines per undersize fish I think its $75 per trout! You could buy a lot of tackle for that! But I guess that’s up to the judge!
