Looks like three Game ‘n Fish bureaucrats needed new bass boats.

Maybe, or maybe they really were overfishing. From the article:
“Ohio law only allows fisherman to catch five bass fish per day. The men had caught 146”
To: Howard Morrison
Glad they were caught. 146 bass is a lot of poaching going on.

I assume they were not commercial fishermen? I am a sport fisher and believe there is a limit even if I am catching quite a bit... especially in fresh water. Not because the government says so, but as a courtesy to fellow anglers. Salt water is a different story...
To: The Free Engineer
I could see catching 146 perch. But bass?

Five seems pretty low to me but that appears to be the law. They would have been better off fishing any of the inland lakes here in michigan.

Boys Walleyes are the fish to catch. Best tasting fresh water fish around! But nobody should have 146 in the freezer.

Too bad they didn’t want some of the carp - the shores of Lake Erie are swarming with them. You can walk in and scoop ‘em up by hand.
To: McGruff
I prefer bass that are just over the legal size for eating.

They just needed to paint “RESEARCH” on the side of the boats and everything would have been OK.

How do you say “you ain’t from around here, are you?” in yankee?

“One of the fined man, Charles Burkhart, told the Chattanooga Times Free Press he and his buddies thought the limit was only five fish per trip onto the water.”
Oh please. What planet do they usually fish on that has limit laws like that? Is there anyplace that makes their law “per trip onto the water?!”
To: Howard Morrison
Who the hell would eat fish from that lake anyway? Isn’t it pretty filthy?

Salt water is a different story...Not really. Striped bass had been overfished. There's a lot of pressure on the stocks, even from rod & reel sportfishermen. That's why there is a daily limit of 2 per person and a minimum (typical) size of 2. Rules vary by state, though.
