A-hole poachers keeping fish are run off

Went down to one of the ponds after 4:30 this evening.  Saw two fellas fishing from the dam, but it didn't look right.  One was sitting on a cooler and they just looked out of place for some reason..................never seen them before.  One fella catches a 12-13" bass and puts it in the cooler.  I walk over and explain that it is catch-and-release and that a sign saying the same thing is about 25 feet from them. 

They get an attitude and want to be bad-asses.  I just dial the non-emergency # for the Sherriff's Dept. while standing about 3 feet from them.  I also state, while waiting for the LCSO to answer, "hope you fellas don't have any outstanding warrants".

They pack their gear in about 3 seconds and are still cursing me as they leave.  LCSO answers, but I tell them the problem seems to be resolved.

No telling how many fish were in that cooler, but they will not be fishing our lakes again anytime soon.

Nice Job! But be careful. I would suggest standing a little farther than 3 feet. You never now how someone might react.
