jdmidwest Posted February 18 Posted February 18 The guy in the Blue Polo about 3/4 way thru at the pavilion looks like a local Mexican Restaurant owner I know. I will have to pull this one out and ask him about it. He has good English and always been conversational. He is a good guy and food is good. His staff seems to be suffering from the CO2 fumes in the trunk they came in on from time to time. snagged in outlet 3 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

fishinwrench Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 Maybe I'm being racist here, but it appears that people that don't speak or understand English very well just have a really hard time understanding Permits & Legal Limits. And many of their infractions are notably extreme. They also seem to perfectly understand that as long as they just stand there looking confused, and fail to show up for court dates..... There's no retribution, at all. So take notes......If you are ever busted Red-Handed doing anything illegal, just immediately go deaf, dumb, and blind 👍 snagged in outlet 3 1
Flysmallie Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I’ve seen more white rednecks get tickets for poaching than anyone else. They speak English and probably some of them can read. But that doesn’t stop them. You can go down the James just about any summer weekend and witness it. MOstreamer and tjm 2

White rednecks might have a few illegal fish, but it just seems like whenever we're talking about buckets full, or Trucks full..... it's always a group of .... Oh nevermind. I get it, it's not Politically Correct to mention it. 🙄

But I can guarantee you that those weirdos on the Niangua will do twice as much damage. They don’t speak English very well either but everyone just looks the other way. fishinwrench 1
tjm Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Over the past seven decades I've seen hundreds of white Americans abusing game and fish laws and I've seen dozens of immigrants abusing fish laws. The immigrants are more likely to be in groups (most of the world is more social than USA) while the Americans will be alone or in pairs and the Americans are more likely to abuse game laws as well fish laws, I don't think that I've ever known of immigrants poaching deer. Even members of this forum have talked about breaking rules themselves, for example culling fish when not in a legal tournament. I see real Ozarkians culling trout almost every time I go to the Park and so many Ozarkians that can not tell a rainbow trout from a brown trout on the streams where they have different regulations. During all those deer seasons, I've seen hundreds of partially butchered deer carcasses where good old boys took the best cuts for "camp meat" and didn't "waste" a tag on it. How many "native Missourians" have killed a snake? Facts are poachers poach, don't matter where their family came from. And it doesn't matter what language they speak, they all aware that not only are the agents too few, but that the game fish laws carry no real punishment. If a single violation carried an automatic jail term, billybob might be more apt to comply. MOstreamer 1
ness Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I suspect that the guys in the video are at the very bottom of the economic scale and likely did it out of necessity. But what do I know? John
