  • Went crappie fishing at a local lake yesterday and ended the day with 10 keepers. In the video I explain how I caught these crappie. The local conservation police payed me a visit and checked my fish, and they were very respectful and polite.

      We shouldn't require a license to fish for food. We literally lived thousands of years without having to give the governments money to fish. The only polite person in this video is the fisherman. The police are harassing him while trying to find any reason that they can to steal his fishing equipment and his money. Just because they steal from us with smiles, doesn't mean they are polite.Those cops would make better use of our tax money if they picked up that trash, instead of acting like trash. The idiots are literally wasting our money by measuring panfish. I find that rude as heck. It's not like they are saving the fish or something. All they are doing is making another person feel uncomfortable, when they could be enjoying themselves instead. Fishing should be fun, but cops find a way to ruin anything, victim or not.

      Aaron Kidd​​​​ well I guess you might have a point !! What do you recon they make over 100,000 grand a year ? That would bye a lot of fish wouldn't it ?
      I really like how the one said they picked up trash for one whole day !! Don't get me wrong people shouldn't litter but one whole day aaawwww poor baby !
      I still believe it's a good thing there out there though otherwise people would dump all kinds of shit in the water and destroy all kinds of things !!
      But my main beef with some of them is they treat everyone like there a criminal !!!
      You know the ones that sneak up on you and act like they know you are doing something wrong ! !!
      The good ones on the other hand are the ones that just walk right up and say (hey how are you doing today anything bitting ? Mind if I take a look ?
      Like the one in this video didn't even tell the kid he was going to look in his bucket , not that he had to , but still that was rude as fuck, other then that they seemed OK!

That's why we need CO'S!!! They would have just kept coming back for more and more until they stopped biting. I was told by a asian from the Phillipines that they will just grind them up like hamburger for fish patties. I'm sure where the came from there are no laws protecting natural resources and where in for a rude awakening.

    Wildlife officers are suppose to check your creel limit and size of fish if there is a slot size. They check to see if you have a valid fishing license. They are not the garbage police. Some will notify the county or city to have inmates pick up the trash.
    Sometimes like this fishermen, people will pick up others trash...which is very commendable and appreciated.

I just sat there in-front of them, plate and spoon in hand, eating a delicious chocolate cake with a mug of coffee on the side as the guest and police spoke to each other.
    Then in another occasion, police knocked on the door to ask if they could look in the back garden as they believe someone is hiding in one of the gardens nearby. I replied with "Sure- Oh let me just go open the gate around the side for you." went to go around the side and by the time I got around the corner to see the gate 8 meters away, 2 officers had already jumped the 2 meter tall stone wall with all their gear haha, crazy folk- I didn't even know there were so many officers outside my door!
