oversized? so much for fishing rodeos.
..great job guys..too many outlaws.
Keep up the good work…
Clark, Long and Lugg… those guys should open up a law office.
I concur though. Great job officers for protecting our resources. I hope the people that were caught near the Bob Sykes bridge were the ones I encountered. They were fishing in the middle of the channel under the bridge between the bridge protection systems.
Good Job Officers. Thanks for protecting us and our fisheries.
