I have fished for 25 years and prior to this year have never been checked on the water. So far this year 4 times...3 on Patoka and once on Monroe. Yes the state is short on money and c.o are doing their part just like the police. I dont mind being checked but it is getting a little ridiculous. Just becuse the lawmakers bankrupt the state they start cracking down in areas like this to try and generate revenue
