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”

I could see catching 146 perch. But bass?

[Dayman]

146 bass is a heck of a lot of fish to catch in 1 day. If the reporting on this story is as accurate as typical newspaper reporting on gun rights issues then I’m very suspicious of the facts that have been presented.

I can easily spend $100 per caught fish when I try.

“Ohio law only allows fisherman to catch five bass fish per day. The men had caught 146”

Obviously not right!

The law allows 5 PER FISHERMAN. That makes 30 for 6 guys. They caught 146 with a limit of 30. Not with a limit of 5.

i think you can only KEEP five per day. You can CATCH as many as you want, and promptly release them.

not sure the article explains that clearly. If they were caught with 146 fish in their possession, then they are in serious trouble.
