@Junk Fisherman you know this guy?

I love when cheaters are caught. The cost to David Moore goes far beyond the citations as the Internet never forgets. 

Yeah - glad he was caught.  Sad for our sport and the way this reflects on bass anglers to the general population.

 

This is where absurd laws and regulations begin.

No, but a buddy knows him well.  He always thought of him as a good guy and nearly fished some buddy Ts together.  Guess the guy is a good fishermen.

He discarded his stringer on the bank. That's considered a violation of Illinois litter laws. 

Yeah but what’s bank water ? 😂 

Water by the bank, I would guess.  I would guess the officers wanted to cover both the bank and water so a fine would be levied.

It’s not that. I think he discarded the stringer on purpose to hide evidence. On top of the littering

I can't comprehend this behavior. 😳

My guess is the article was probably AI generated and no one seems to proofread any more……
