fisherchad+FollowGot busted collecting my own bait (oops!) 🦐When I was a kid, my grandpa and I would spend whole mornings turning over dirt in his garden, hunting for fat nightcrawlers. Now I get to do the same with my kids—except we’ve added chasing crayfish in the local river. There’s something special about catching fish with bait you’ve gathered yourself. But I’ve learned the hard way that rules for bait can be just as strict as for fish—permits, limits, even banned collection methods in some states. Now I'm paranoid about everything - even grabbing frogs apparently has different rules. What's the most unexpected bait regulation you've run into? #fishing #livebait #crayfish #outdoors #fishingtips #fishingregulations9091Share
kdiaz+FollowThis strange fishing storywill change how you clean fish 🐟Heard this wild story about guys who hooked a monster wahoo offshore. Right as they're bringing it up, a shark chomps the entire body - they only landed the massive head! Thinking they were smart, they kept the head as proof of their trophy. But when the warden saw it at the dock? Citation. The head alone was under legal length, even though the whole fish was clearly huge. Now I never clean anything on the water. That cooler space isn't worth risking a ticket when you can't prove your fish was legal size. Even if your state allows cleaning at sea, you’ll want the head and tail for proof. Ever had a close call with a game warden over something like this? #fishing #gamewarden #wahoo #saltwater #fishinglaw #fishingregulations 213Share
