My case worked out completely! Not sure what your talking about!  I was fpund guilty of no crime! So unless you know something I dont , please share!

Really sad that holding a fish out of water has a penalty that could include 1/4 of a year in jail.  Meanwhile, tweekers and burglars roam the streets with their 2 years probation as a 'tough sentence'.

There is obviously more to this than holding a fish out of the water for a photo!

 

I am pretty tired of hearing this crap ..maybe you 2 might want to come over here on the 23rd and go to court with me and ted so you can come back here and let everyone BH45 is not full of sheet ...hell I will even give you gas money  I can post at least 3 pictures of people who work for the dept ..HOLDING WILD STEELHEAD OUT OF THE WATER DOWN SOUTH ...Does this make it right to make a law and because your working for the dept makes it o.k for you to hold steelhead out of the water and then mention you caught it on a plug ! WTH I am not buying there BS !!!!!!!!!

If I'm mistaken, correct me. Didn't they only give your boy 1 ticket instead of a few? In other words didn't they let him off easy? I thought I remembered you posting that.

FYI it seems that you fall into a special place with law enforcement. I have known a few people that have suffered what you are going through. As long as you make waves and call attention to yourself they will pay extra attention to you and your family. Not saying its right, but if you don't want extra drama don't make any additional drama. 

Most logical post in this thread.

I beg to differ! To many people back down when pushed into a corner!  I commend you for standing up for what you believe in.

BH45 admitted to all of us that the internet was causing him too much trouble and that he needed to take a time out. He was going to quit posting for a while. He started a whole thread and everything saying how he was going to try and stay away.

I understand! But maybe people will learn from what others are put through. My number one reason for posting about my two point ordeal.  I have had countless pm's thanking me for sharing my story!

You guys are pathetic. You guys know nothing about this, and you are posting stuff like this....

I don't know who you're calling pathetic or why, but in case you missed it, BH45 has posted the whole story multiple times on here. I can get links if you need. All of the stories were posted, to his credit, for everyone to see.

I have read every story BH45 has posted. There is a possibility that there is more behind this, but to say there IS more that BH45/his son did (calling BH45 a lier) when they do not know the story is stupid.

I have known many people who have tried to push back at BS like what your Going through. If you REALLY want to do something about it it going to involve a great deal of $ and a really good lawyer. I don't disagree with the fact that it is a BS law. I just think that if you want to fight back at "the man" you'll have to think this through a lot better. Good luck

I would suggest calling an attorney yourself. One call can be made in a matter of minutes verses days or weeks of a thread with a bunch of drama or who knows what.

*See reply #3*.   Just call an attorney....get it over with.

Whats stupid is making a comment like this and assuming that nobody else knows more to the story.

What's stupid about this is:
1) The law, to some degree.  But it is a law whether we like it or not. 
2) A kid making a somewhat unknowing mistake by gift wrapping the evidence of a law breaking incident courtesy of social networking.
3) The WDFW utilizing said social networking to generate revenue.
4) BH45's wandering into WDFW's watch list just often enough to be "watched".
5) BH45 starting the prior thread pointing even more attention to this incident of his kid. 
6) BH45 starting this thread looking to lawyer up.
7) That the WDFW probably has knowledge of #5 and #6 since they lurk around here.  Given your past "relationships" with the WDFW, they want your kid as a trophy on their wall, at your expense and anguish.

BH45, my unprofessional advice to you is to go clam on this.  Ask that this thread be deleted.  Try to find an attorney in the greater Mount Vernon area, via networking other than the internet.  Get a consult from said attorney and move on based on that legal advice.

AND QUIT POSTING ABOUT YOUR WDFW LEGAL ISSUES, FOREVER MOVING FORWARD.  YOU ARE ONLY FUELING THEIR CASE BY OPENING YOUR YAP.

And I mean this in the nicest way possible BH.  I think your kid is getting railroaded for a BS situation.  My gawd, he's just a kid.  Slap on the hand and move on should have been the result of this.

This is ridiculous what they are doing to a youth, got to have better things to do. I turned a guy in for shooting at night with 3 letters from neighbors stating what happened and the 20+ year old never even got a ticket, did I mention it was on private property and within 100yrds of a house. They also had a spot light the kid hid and left behind. NOT EVEN A TICKET, at least make it a pain in his butt and make him go to court. My point I guess, they must just be going after him because it's an easy ticket for them, but I think they are going way over board. Good luck

[csaaphill]

well good luck all I got to say.

There is only 2 things that make me do things like this ...1 is they are so worried about our native steelhead but the indians continue to net the rivers ..2 is they are telling me that they are worried about the slim on the fish and how it wears off if the fish is handled out of the water .... O.K Then , why are you So worried about how a fish in handled when a GILL NET KILLS THEM INSTANTLY ...and you are worried about a kid catching one (and releasing it ) and taken a picture to show his friends on facebook ...this is why I get so fired up about their endless BS....thats why posted this in our RIGHTS section ....Our rights are being peesed on ...
