REMEMBER MY FISHING THREAD ....????????????

[BOWHUNTER45]

Well since I am such an insane person  I will conclude my issues with wardens !!! It is obvious when you keep posting things like photos and bad mouthing the law that most likely they will come knocking at your door  Yep last night at dinner time I was eating dinner while I heard someone knocking on my door  Thats right ....search warrant in hand and the Swat team     its all good

What was the warrant for?  Do they have to describe what it is they are looking for, or just searching for anything?

Did they bring dessert at least ?
Hope they wasted their time. Did they take anything as evidence?

Let them in and search away! If you are not doing anything wrong, they gotta get tired of bugging you at some point.

Swat team?    You have to be joking.

Would you like to post any more info?? Or would you rather let our minds run rampent with possible reasons for the actions they took to do a search? Just asking.

You need to move to an island.

I was going to let you sit on it for awhile  This maybe the best thing that could of happened  All over a picture of my SON posting a picture on facebook  He was holding a Native steelhead out of the water  According to them you can not take a Native fish out of the water if it is closed for keeping them ...no matter if you turn it loose or not ..You have to either cut your line or keep the fish in the water at all times without handling it ...Thats fine since not everyone knows how to handle a fish ..But wetting yours hands is how I handle a fish I want to cut loose ...I can understand what they are saying ...They came because they thought that Teddy was clubbing fish in the head !!! They searched the freezers to find many fish  BUT NO STEELHEAD !!! They were doing their job and thats fine ...After a 2 hour deal I hope we settled our differences and this will be the end of it ...I told them how I felt and they done the same ...they need to understand where I am coming from too ! I buy every tag this state has to offer and I am not sitting home and doing nothen when I pay for what I do ...that is what it is all about ...I am tired of all the laws they come up with and I have a right to beach about what I believe in ... I am not braking the law like they may think I am ... and now they seen what is in my house ...lots of fish and dead animals that are legally taken and reported I hope they can leave me alone now ...and I will do the same !!

Hope you had a talk with the boy about too much stuff on Facebook though.

I find this all kinda funny

Sounds like your boy got a tough lesson regarding the regs and posting things on public forums. Sounds like they may have taken it a little far but since you guys have a special relationship it doesn't surprise me.

Glad to hear it worked out ok. I'm always amazed at how many people post pictures of themselves hold native steelhead. It doesn't bother me a bit, I know the fish was released unharmed in most cases, but even the pros do it... I constantly see them posting pics of big natives out of the water. Wonder if the law comes knocking on their door?

Hope your boy didn't catch too much guff about the pics... By the sounds of it I'm guessing he did.

Was there really a swat team to check for a steelhead in your freezer?
