  • On May 9th, 2022, Officer Stallings from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission was notified by dispatch about an individual engaged in spearfishing near the easy jetty in Destin, Florida.
    Upon reaching the location, Officer Stallings used binoculars to observe the man emerging from the water with a spear in hand, carrying what seemed to be a fish in a bucket. Upon noticing the patrol truck, the man changed his direction and concealed himself behind a cluster of large rocks.The individual received citations for not displaying a Dive Flag and fishing without a license. However, Officer Stallings proved relentless. Even after letting Austin go, he persisted in searching for the grouper, ultimately uncovering it hidden under some rocks. But the story doesn't end there. Officer Stallings obtained a search warrant for the GoPro SD Card seized during his investigation. Upon reviewing the footage, he observed the man spearing the exact same grouper found on the jetty.

To those who say, "It's just one fish", ONE female grouper produces up to one and half MILLION eggs per year, so if just 1000 illegal grouper are taken per year just in Florida, (The numbers are a lot higher than 1000) but just say only 1000 per year are taken, that is removing around one and a half BILLION grouper per year from Florida waters. Not to mention the fact that grouper don't start reproducing until they're around 4 years old. And looking at that grouper I'd say she was around that age, I just hope she was able to spawn at least once before he illegally took her.

      @@scottmichaels12 In the unedited version you hear me refer to myself as a “lawyer” first. I have a Juris Doctor degree. Then the government enforcer referred to me as an “attorney”. I tend not to correct people on inconsequential things if they can legally kill for not complying. I moved to Sydney shortly after graduating from law school. I never intended on taking the government occupational exam to work professionally as an attorney.

    It would be super nice if you would end these videos with the current disposition of the case. This happened nearly 2 years ago so surely records are out there if he was charged, and the outcome of so, after the search warrant was executed.
    I know it’s extra work but it’s what set alllll these police video channels apart from the top tier channels like Real World Police

      While WE would all like to learn that this jerkwad diver got a hefty fine and some jail time the fact of the matter is that game law enforcement seldom results in the kind of results self respecting fishermen and hunters demand when the scofflaws are charged for illegal taking. These cases are usually processed routinely without the effort to make examples and in our current 'woke' environment since 2008 WE probably cannot hope for stiff sentences ... unless a gun is involved.

      The reason we have fishing requirements is to stop the populations from being completely wiped out by overharvesting It's not that you need permission from the government.It's that we need to protect the plant
