I think gigging fish is the only sport that misidentification won't get you a citation. These guys operate under the mindset that as long as they don't keep the gigged bass, all is well. I really don't think they would've even received a citation for these bass even if the MDC was in the boat with them. As long as they throw it back, no problem......Oh Well, it happens. They just stick as many fish swimming as they can then cull. The Big is murkier than other rivers, gives them an excuse
