I was putting my boat in at bluegrass and saw a man putting a short bass (guessing a pound) into the bed of his truck. I reminded him that it was a 18 inch limit restriction to keep the fish and you are only allowed two. I offered to measure it for him but he declined. He walked back to his spot on the bank. I looked in the back of his truck to see other dead short fish.
I told the man that I would be contacting our local conservation officer and his tone changed. He let me put the bass that was still alive back in the lake but there were others that were already dead. I made sure to take pics and send it all to our local CO email and Fbook group.
If you see this truck out there, keep an eye on it and report him if you see him keeping short bass. It's stuff like this that ruins it for everyone else. Oh, and to top it off, he was parked in the handicap spot.
