Poachers Caught on the California Delta
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Yesterday I hit the California Delta for some Kayak Bass Fishing with my buddy Ron from Budo Fishing (check out his channel! - / @budofishing ) The bite was tough and I managed 4 fish. Towards the end of the day a game warden got a tip that someone in the area was snagging bedding bass. We watched the Warden make contact and the offenders dump their catch and cut their lines. The Game Warden asked us to help him retrieve what they dumped.
Most states have a tip line that you can use to call if you think someone is poaching while fishing or hunting. Learn yours and save it into you phone. California's tip line is 1 888 334-CALTIP (888 334-2258)

Thanks to everyone who has sent attaboys to me and Budo Fishing but the real work was done by the person who called the tip in and the warden who responded. Game Wardens, Wildlife Officers, or whatever they are called where you live are spread thin and have a tough job. Most of them do their job because they are like us and they love the outdoors and the resources we all enjoy. So hats off the the Warden in this video, he was a stand up guy who seemed firm but fair in this instance and in other times he has stopped and checked me personally. Also, most states have a tip line that you can call if you see something fishy, in CA that number is1 888 334-CALTIP (888 334-2258).
Out West with Chris I'm glad to see your wardens are actually out doing their jobs I never see any here in Nebraska barely
Greta work! Here in NY I have the local wardens cell phone numbers. I have busted 20 people in the passed year for short striped bass.
Out West with Chris Xlnt work helping out. BIG thank you from me.
Daniel f awesome people like that just piss me off!!!
its always asian people.. they are so arrogant.
As a fellow angler who not only takes the rules seriously, but the etiquette too. I appreciate you taking the time to help this officer, the world needs more people like you. Tight lines
Thanks, much appreciated.
I love how the warden put them on blast and shamed those guys and told you all their shit, more wardens like him are needed, put the poachers on blast, let their faces be known and shame them so they can't do that shit again without being recognized
they wil. just like WE THE PEOPLE will. got it cadaver
Love seeing other fisherman supporting the wardens! Awesome job! Those guys deserve so much respect for what the do for our fisheries, and wildlife. Thumbs way up and subbed!
Yeah man, they are out there with back up that is pretty far away usually, and they do it because they love to fish and hunt like most of us. Gotta support these guys.
Strong work Chris. I've met that Warden. Solid guy that cares about the resources. Glad to see him out there catching people.
Yeah Mike, he seems like a guy who cares about what he does. I'm pretty sure I've talked to him before as well.
Lmfao dame wardens think there fucking cops secrete service mutha fuckers
slumdogg .gaming.559 Holy fuck fix your grammar before you talk shit.
Nizma YT oh shit I knew u'll be here sooner or later Mr grammer Nazi lmfao
slumdogg .gaming.559 nah i just think it’s funny how you talk shit but sound like a dumbass because of your grammar
I applaud y'all for helping out that warden.
Thanks
I've caught people keeping way to many Large Mouth Bass when I use to live in South Florida. I Caught a Asian family with well over 40 bass an when I told them the limit they were allowed to keep they laughed as if it didn't include them. That's why I called The FWC. The family was on their pontoon boat an when the officers showed up the entire family was arrested an their boat confiscated. I found out later that they didn't just have fish, that they also had several dead ducks an a live gator.
Wow man, that's nuts.
@@rebelhawk4206 fuckjn snitch
Helping Wardens out while I'm out in my kayak is always a pleasure. They know most kayakers are legit and ask us often for help. Good job being cool & helping bust the poachers.
So great to see the passion and respect you have for wildlife conservation. My troop leader growing up in the boy scouts was our local game warden. It set the standard for me from a young age about the way to interact with nature.
Hey Chris I thank you for helping the game Warden I was the one that called Im the landowner back here with the dock. P.s glad your hand healed up after the grass burner buried once again thank you
Hey George, I guessed it was probably you. I saw them on that private levee but they were on the other side and I didnt see them snagging... In the back of my head I was thinking, George is gonna get pissed.
You know I love that little spot (I'm always there...) So it made me extra mad they were doing it there. One if these days we need to exchange phone numbers.
Oh yeah, finger healed up great.
Way to be out there and thanks for sharing. This is a good PSA for anyone out on the water to do their part in stopping poachers. My blood was boiling when the warden was explaining how they were being pulled off the beds, tragic really.
Yeah it's a shame someone would do that. I hope this gets people aware and they save their tip line numbers in their phones, it prompted me too. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for posting this. It really opened my eyes. Recently, I was fishing at a local lake and there was a guy there fishing with a long rod with heavy green line on it. There was a heavy weight on the end of the line, with several hooks tied up the length of the line, with no bait on them. He was just casting and retrieving it. I didn't realize what kind of technique that was. I tried asking him, but he didn't seem to speak English. Now after seeing your video, I realize that he was probably trying to snag fish. He didn't catch any bass while I was there, but he did get a huge carp. Thanks for the CA poaching tip number. I have now put it in my phone, and I'll call it in if I see someone doing that again.
Yeah that is frustrating. I'm sure I have seen this kind of activity before but didn't realize what was going on, now I know and now I've got a number to call for the future. Thanks for watching.
You can legally snap carp. Idiot 😂
@@dennisane No you can't idiot.
(b) Snagging is prohibited. Snagging is defined as
impaling or attempting to impale a fish in any part
of its body other than inside the mouth by use of a
hook, hooks, gaff, or other mechanical implement.
This definition does not include activities otherwise
authorized under these regulations for the lawful
use of a gaff, bow and arrow, or spear.
(c) It is unlawful to kill, or retain in possession any
fish which has not voluntarily taken the bait or
artificial lure inside its mouth. Any fish not taken
pursuant to these regulations, shall be released
immediately back into the water
it's your duty to report poachers as a fishermen. good job to the warden for catching them.
I would agree with ya.
Ghastly Grinner best believe it's not just ca. This applies to every state. Call it whatever you want just don't turn a blind eye when you see something that isn't right. People who are guilty will act a little suspicious.
One time while fishing at our local dam my buddy and I saw this indian family had a cage on a string with 2 walleye (still alive). Walleye season was closed at the time so we told them to release the fish but they pretended they didn't speak english and ignored us. So as we were about to leave I walked up to their cage, opened it and dumped their fish out. Screw poachers man they ruin our ecosystems.
Poachers can have a disastrous impact in fisheries. People forget that these Bass are not stocked. They are a self sustaining population and size limits and daily catch limits do matter.
That's pretty tight Cody.
I remember I caught these 3 white Texans who caught twice their limit and hide the other trout in their truck and I called my buddy the game warden. All 3 lost their hunting license without refund for elk later that year and they lost their ability to buy any license in Colorado for the next 5 years
@Silvio Manuel I could care less if they are white. What I dont like is when someone for some odd reason points out an "indian" family that cant speak English for being horrible people with no respect for wildlife when I see the exact same thing with any group of people I meet out here in Colorado, white Texans being the worst. But I dont think of them as being white, I just know there are good and bad in all races
@Silvio Manuel so you picked up on what I said but not the OP? Got it.
6:03 you're welcome
😍
Thank you! I was hoping someone would do this you are a saint
G Bush thank you so much
G Bush lifesaver
I legitimately hate the person who made this thinking we would want to see 6+ minutes of his shitty vlog first.
“Cause I ain’t a douche bag.” I loved that
So you have a net in your kayak but both of you decide to play "let's try to scoop a slippery fish onto a flat plastic paddle"
Makes sense
Jim Herbert Outdoors when in doubt fill your net with moss and take 20x longer
wade shaw Yeah you'd think someone with a fish as their profile pic would understand that. Apparently not! 😂
I was thinking the sane thing. What no net? Then I seen your fishing technic and was like never mind
Its because they didn't want a net full of muck. Duh!!!!
Boat & all gear should have been seized too! They KNEW they were doing WRONG!
Great job for assisting the warden! People just don't care about our natural resources nor the wildlife! Thank you for concern for the great outdoors and the wildlife. All of need to remember that we are only the custodians of the nature around us.
THanks!
Nicely handled dude!!! You are a Seward of the outdoors! Big thumbs up
I just did what most folks I know would do, but thank you kindly.
Great video man! Chris, ur an awesome dude. Thanks for helping the GW out in need. Glad the GW was able to catch the poachers. Tight lines brotha!
Thanks Bet, I know you would have done the same, I was happy to help out. That GW seemed like a stand up guy. He was firm and fair.
That's awful! When I was going to school for my fisheries degree we were at a hatchery run by the school that was at a popular fishing spot. Several of us used to stand at the landing area and land and unhook salmon for people. There were a LOT of people that tried to snag, and keep salmon there. Unfortunately after we did this for a few weeks we were informed by the warden's that they were thankful for the work, but didn't want anyone getting hurt by a confrontational poacher, so we had to stop. No telling how many spawning fish got killed after we stopped throwing back the ones that were snagged. The warden's are awesome guys who really have both the community and an incredible resource in mind all the time, I worked very closely with several of them during my time with the WA dept of fish and wildlife. If you ever see them out and about, go shake their hand and thank them for their hard work protecting a resource we all hold so close!
Yeah man, those guys bust their butts to help protect the resource. Good story by the way, thanks for sharing that as well.
Crazy dude. Silver lining is you were there to film it and educate anyone watching this. Snagging fat mommies? Pathetic! Dude when you started paddling over to them, all I could hear was the 'Team America' theme lol.
Lol Ish, as we were pulling out for the day the guys who got busted were also pulling out and I was thinking I'm glad Budo is here cause hes a freaking Ninja.
And yeah, pathetic, no sport to that at all.
@@alexl932 Alex..........What do you not get? It is ILLEGAL to catch bass ( or at least spawning/bedding bass ) using a snatch hook. They take a large, weighted treble hook........cast or toss it past the bedding bass.......wait till the bass is sitting still, and then snatch the hook right into the side of the fish & yank it out of the water. You just watched this video of a game warden busting their asses for doing it.......yet you "think it's ok as long as it's not "a protected species".........There's an old saying: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law". You're not suppose to "think" or "assume" what the laws are........when you go fishing or hunting, you are SUPPOSE TO KNOW the laws in the area or state you are fishing or hunting in. And why the hell do ya think those 3 jack asses were suddenly dumping their fish overboard and cutting the large treble hooks off of their lines when they saw that game warden........That proves they knew damn good & well they were breaking the law. Get a clue man.
@@alexl932 Alex L. ...........First off.......I HATE the state of Commufornia. I don't live there, never have, and never will. Secondly, you watched this video just like everyone else and you STILL couldn't put 2 and 2 together. Third, most people IN AMERICA who hunt & fish DO know the fishing & hunting laws. Lastly, if you think I'm gonna read that ENTIRE BOOK you just typed as a comment because you're so crazy, and "how free you are in Asia".......you're smoking birdseed, and you can STAY your ass in Asia.
@@howabouthetruth2157 Right. That's the biggest book I've never read on CZcams. Especially one with only one paragraph. Dude has smoked waaaay too much opium or something.
Airborngus w
Went bass fishing on a lake near San Diego probably 30 years ago that had a reputation for producing huge bass. Happen to get there the same day there was a tournament going on. All of the pros in their high dollar bass boats were nosing up into the tulies over the nests and snagging big females with weighted treble hooks. I mentioned it to the tournament officials and they just laughed and said that's how it works at these events. I was so disgusted with the whole thing I packed up and left, and never looked at a pro-fisherman the same way again.
Geez, that is crazy.
@Hollywood T yeah anymore, the dude said it was 30 years ago, which I could believe
Good man helping the warden out! More folk need to do that!
Thanks
Some Asian chick at my local river kept 125 bluegill, around 100 over limit. Crazy to see how some of the asians at my river get away with keeping over limit. (the lady got in a lot of trouble but other people dont get caught)
as a retired Cop and avid fisherman I thank you for helping the warden. Hopefully he took all their stuff to include their car.
Thanks
In Missouri if you follow all the game laws you can fill your freezer full of fish and game easily every year. Shaming and confiscating makes poaching not as attractive.
You did a great job I hope you gave him the video! And all those who call the hotline about poachers 10 stars to you and this channel for sharing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks!
We have more of a problem with hunters poaching up here and pisses me off. It's one thing if one needs the meat, but too often it's just for trophies. Good to see you helping out bro.
Yeah, the people that shoot animals out of season just for racks and leave the meat to waste are horrible people. That really really pisses me off.
First video I watched of yours but I’m glad it came up. To hell with those who won’t follow simple fair rules it destroys fisheries and gives real fisherman a bad name. Good on you for being there and helping
Just doing my thing... thanks for watching.
To bad you cant snag a poacher wit ha treble and drag them around.
"I didn't snag it because I'm not a douche bag" best part of the video lol
Thanks for spreading awareness man. Now I know what to look out for. I never even knew this was a thing. Nice job handling it calmly.
Thank you, glad it was helpful.
You should get an honorary warden's badge. Good job Chris.
Just doing the same thing you would've done I'm sure... that Warden was in a tough spot stuck on the bank and the poachers knew it. Thanks!
thank you, love seeing respect for game wardens. such a difficult, underappreciated job
Good on you guys for the help for the warden.
Thanks.
Thank you for doing this, I fish in that area as well it is near Knightsen and Brentwood and see those people doing it all the time. I confront them and tell them why are you snagging the fish off of their bed and they always smile and say we don't speak english or they just ignore me. Also thanks for putting in the hotline I will definitely add it to my contacts on my phone so when I see others doing it, I'm calling.
Happy to help man.
Those people meaning same exact group?
if you come to america you have to live by the law you cant treat it like the 3rd world youre used to.
Yea and what about when the English and here and didn't respect this same land that was home to real Americans. Native Americans? You sound like a fuckin idiot.
@@Moco925 we respected the land by making it the most powerful country in the world.
You're commenting on CZcams on your Computer or Smart phone... you'd be living in a hut with a dirt floor and dying before age 30 if we didn't come and make this place great.
Yeah... land of the NOT free. Land of the free to do what they tell us.
Why would they obey the laws, they started their relationship to come into your country in illegality.... that tells you everything you need to know right there. Law breakers, from the start
@@davidoberlin4186 No one gives a fuck except you and a handful of crazies that believe the world is flat, vaccines are bad, and airliners dump toxins out of their engines to slowly kill us. Congrats for not proving anything either. The world keeps turning regardless. Natives lost to a superior more advanced force. Stolen land? I wouldn't give a FLYING FUCK what happened centuries ago either way. Get bent.
Wow... I need to find me a pond that clear. The clarity of that pond/lake is insane
The crazy thing is a mile away in that same waterway it's muddy with maybe 1 foot visibility. Lot's of grass here to filter the water.
I dont know what the laws are in CA, but they should lose that little raft they are using, along with all of their equipment.
I tend to agree. I believe that a warden can seize tackle and boats in CA.
I heard in Illinois that everything used to catch those fish is taken. So if they were found in your car, you could lose your car too.
@@Outwestwithchris1 As i spoke about in a comment to your video, i had a game warden as a troop leader in the boy scouts when i was growing up. He was a great role model and steward of conservation of nature and the joy that it brings the public at large.
GW can seize shotguns, vehicles, tackle, rods, whatever was involved in the poaching if the case warrens it and they are motivated enough. There are stories of many a blinged out hunting rifle going the way of the GW auction after the case has been through the court-system.
Poaching is not only illegal, selfish, and repugnant, but you are hurting the efforts of those trying to make sure the species is healthy. Poaching throws off data in regards to population health and size. This leads to more animals being estimated to be alive then truly exist.
Thank you again for your passion to do the right thing and pass on conservation. People can fish legally all day long and will get a handshake and a 5 minute conversation with a warden as the only result of your interaction. GW are the most passionate civil servants I have ever seen, they care about what happens in their area, and they deserve our support.
Actually, The California Fish and Game (CFG) can confiscate anything involved in the crime including the vehicle. So poachers be aware. I agree with you crispy and it probably happened. Cheers Jeff
crispy83 they do and their vehicles. If they were using it to transport. Fuc then hard.
God bless you Chris, for being there and your ethics. In these times of pressure on our sport, we need to be vigilant with the poachers. Thumbs up from me
Thanks man!
Whiskey slough has soo many poachers it’s unbelievable
Seems like it's pretty much any spot with bank access.
And too many damn seals and otters....
So many Sea Lions in Whiskey Slough, and Wake Boats...
Out West with Chris no lie me an my ol lady was fishing whiskey ... and some family was literally wake boarding back an forth right in front of us , all while there’s soo much water else where , one of my worst fishing experiences over there .... soo now I’m saving for a bass boat.
@@pete5106 Well I understand seals and otters eat fish but if we're talking about protecting species we can't really choose which ones we like and don't like. have to be fair.
i enjoyed this video. i wanna say it was about 7/8 years ago i was out there fishing that same slough , saw a guy on the bank doing the same thing. i called cal tip and reported it. good to see it coming full circle.
Good job man ! It's sad to see that big mama on that stringer :'( but, i'm glad she was revived and released !
Yeah man, I'm glad she got back out in the water too. Thanks!
Nice work Chris, hope those guys get the book thrown at them. Good to see the Game Warden out there protecting our natural resources.
Yeah I hope so too, that Warden seemed like a good dude.
Good job Chris, thanks for doing your part to protect our resources. That was a beautiful female, glad she was able to be revived!👍🏾
I was happy to help out man, I'm sure you would have done the same!
Heck yeah I would’ve. 🙂
Awesome job! I'm sure the warden has much respect for you guys now as well.
I swear I run into guys all the time doing that shit. No respect, no care, they don’t give a crap about protecting the ecosystem so future generations have the resources. It’s just so disheartening. That crap pisses me off so bad. I have the CDFG on speed dial for times like those.
Yeah man, it's no good at all. I've got the number in my phone now too.
I'm glad to see others feel the way I do about this 👍
So what did they do wrong?
Poaching doesn't effect the ecosystem, game and fish regulates the fish populations in lakes and streams. Your fishing license pretty much just pays for the fish you "might" catch.
Snitch!
You have one of the contagious laughs! I like the videos! Thanks a lot
Thank you!
Some people needs a high five...in the face...with a chair!
Those are some chunky look bass! Glad to see the warden there
I grew up in CA, I saw those poachers all the time- these people from all over they keep every tiny thing.
i thought the game wardens ignored illegals poaching... when they break one law, the rest are fair game too.
I agree. They keep everything. Nothing escapes them.
Just stumbled on to this...Thanks for your efforts, we need more honorable fisherman like you...
Ok guys, stop with all the racial stuff. Every ethnicity has their bad apples. Just enjoy this man's video and give him the props he deserves, for uploading the video and helping the warden.
Amen! Didn't mean to start a freaking race war, just documenting what happened. And I agree, there are shitty people of all sorts of Nationalities, Race, Gender, Social Status, etc etc.
It's not your fault Chris.
You did good. Great job! 👍
Why do people bring race into everything.
This is insanity.
The races and ethnicities of the world tend to have different cultures. Some cultures take different care of their lands. When you come to America you should take on the culture of preserving the land for future generations because that is their culture. You do this despite personal feelings on how the bygone American ancestors gained the land. If one goes to the Rhone region of France do they desecrate it because of its turbid past over ownership? The reason race is often brought into situations like this is the simple fact there is an attitude of "this isn't American land with American culture attached to it". One might ask "well what is American culture anyway?" This video is a shining example of it. A game warden and a civilian (two strangers) uniting for the common good of this land. Do you know how many governments and cultures have game wardens and environmental agents supported by the willing taxation of their people? Not many. It is not these poachers fault they came from a culture without those aspects, but it is their fault for not converting to the culture and breaking the laws associated with it. If you don't like following the laws then that makes YOU a bad hombre, NOT the culture.
You should stop thinking and shut the fuck up you piece of shit
Wardens are cool and this one is good. Thankyou and please continue.
they take the fish to restaraunts all over the bay area, seen it with my own eyes
They came to our canals near our town in Merced county when we had a huge abundance of crawfish. They fished day and night wiping crawfish out. We don't have crawfish anymore. Even game warden knew they were taking them to their markets in the bay but they couldn't just follow one and leave their post.
Lol and bay area people hate the valley so much but they steal from us 🤔🤔🤔
This is why we don’t need anymore refugees. That’s why their country sucks!
@@borgman79 all the knowledge available at our fingertips and you choose to make ignorant statements. The focus here is outdoorsmen being against poachers, not spreading hate and negativity.
I’ve been looking for a good California delta fishing channel. Finally found one
Thanks man, glad you found it.
You picked the perfect emojis to cover their face. Probably didnt have fishing license either
That's all I can think of with I think of those guys, just some shitheads.
Whats „snaging“?i‘m from switzerland and dont know the words in fishing
@mlugin snagging is when someone sees a gamefish and just hooks it in the body rather than the fish trying to eat the bait and hooking it in the mouth.
Out West with Chris thank you for answering! I like your channel! I‘d like to learn fishing too, maybe i join a fishing club in Switzerland. I‘ve never seen anyone fishing from a kayak here, i think that‘s the most relaxing and fun way to fish
Thank you for posting the truth! They net salmon out of the fish ladders also. Fish and Game never had officers to send in middle of the night.
Glad to see people breaking the laws getting caught...
Great job pal. Dam shame people have to be so greedy. Again great job helping the DNR
Thanks man.
Use to be able to snag coho and salmon in my state back years ago. Way to much work and not very much fun either. No challenge. Not sportsman-like. Glad it was outlawed!
Wish they outlawed it in Chicago Illinois
Good job, bro. Makes me happy that they were caught. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks man!
Beer for that cool warden! :) Nailed those losers.
Hey, that was a good thing to do. Helping that Warden was the right thing to do. Poor guy is out there by himself and there would have been any way for him to get out there and get that stringer.
Thanks man, he needed a hand and I was there. Happy to help out.
Was it asians because they are so well known for this
judging by your profile you might be gay
Dude everyone one poaches! Some are worse then other depending on socio-geography
Asians overtake ontop of the poaching thats the difference
You need a lesson in life. Poachers come from all backgrounds and colors. People will poach if given the right opportunity. Thats the problem. Ethical hunters and fishermen are the ones who need to put a stop to it. The DNR themselves need to make examples of how they deal with poachers. You cant just slap their hands and revoke their licenses for a year or two. Put em in jail, HEFTY FINES, and rovked licenses for multiple years across the country.
Calm down ninja turtle
I called CalTip once at L Berryessa. Got lucky, there was a warden nearby. An hour later, I watched 3 guys get busted with well over their limit of trout. They tried some attitude with the warden, and were lucky to leave with their pick up truck. It was too funny!
Yeah man, that warden could have made them walk home. That's crazy.
I hate that @&#$. Thanks for helping the warden out, and making people aware. Makes me so mad when people mess up such a great fishery that so many of us have contributed in keeping healthy.
It is frustrating but it was a learning experiance for me as well. Now I have the tip line saved in my phone in case I come across something like this in the future.
Poachers ruin it for everyone. Spent a lot of time on the delta. Good memories
I have had a issue with people taking more then needed or under size. It's always best to call they don't mind
Doesn't hurt to call.
As a Sacramento fisherman myself, thank you for doing this. I’m saving the number you listed and will be calling out BS by assholes like these guys moving forward. Cheers.
Yeah man, the DFG officers are stretched thin, we have to do our part and report what we see. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Happens in New England too. Foreigners pretend they dont know the laws and they get off. However if someone was too slightly break the law in THERE home country you’d be going to prison for years. Throw the book at ANYONE who poaches. My grammar smells
Good jobs guys, warden and everyone else who cares about our outdoors!
Side note: thats why i conceal carry when outdoors. You never know what can happen
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for helping the warden you are a good guy and I subbed to your friend. Poachers are the worst man no respect for the fish
Yeah man, it was frustrating finding that big fish and seeing the gashes in her sides from where they snagged her. Pissed me off. Budo Fishing is a good channel, I'm sure you will enjoy it!
Great job helping wardens...and glad to see these poachers caught!
Props to you for doing the right thing. A few months ago, I was fishing at a pier and this one dude kept asking to keep every undersized shark people were catching. When others tried to dissuade him by telling him of the consequences if caught, he replied back that he didn't care since he was an illegal and had been arrested plenty of times anyways. Stated that the most that would happen is that he would be deported back to Mexico.
Idiot literally perpetrated every negative stereotype people have about Mexican. immigrants
That's crazy man.
Glad to fellow fishing guy helped out the Warden..Here in Maine the Tip Line # gets lots of calls...if they were in Maine, well, Big
fine @$10k and loss of fishing license for 5 yrs, car,boat ,trailer and whatever else was in boat and jail time. Snagging fish is
just not worth it.
Yeah I would like if the fines were a little more stiff within reason.
ASIANS!? NOOOO NEVER
I’ve witnessed certain folks targeting spawning bass on Clear Lake for keeping to eat. They weren’t poaching but I dislike the practice. Nice job on the assistance. Tight lines
Thanks
Looks like a sewage lagoon...welcome to California!
You rock I see this so often with questionably fishing activity. Nice to see one go the fish's way for one time. #fishlegal and I will be saving that hotline number and all other sportsmen should as well
There’s no honor in poaching, when I see trap nets, unattended trout lines, stuff like that, I immediately cut that shit out of the water and dispose of it. We must respect are water ways and the sport of fishing so that the ones that come after us can enjoy it like we do. Stand up shit bro, I dropped a sub. You have my support form here on out bro
Thanks man, I just did what any honest guy would do in helping that warden out. I really like that spot and to see some guys messing with the fish there like that pisses me off.
Ill agree there is no honor in poaching - but there is also zero honor / skill in agitating Bass on beds protecting their eggs until they attack lures out of protective behavior. You were literally tossing your bait 3 feet from you and plopping it on beds hoping to piss them off into biting.... Not very impressive "sportsmanship" if you ask me
Cutting someone elses trotline or checking their jugs are illegal. You are just as bad if you are doing this.
Lmfao u sound stupid
J dude just wants to be a fucking hero
There are SOME people here in NOVA that treat the ponds, lakes, and rivers like a free grocery store. They keep everything they catch and trash the areas they fish, with (illegal) fires, beer cans, used diapers, etc. Poaching is stealing and if left unchecked, the poachers will rob law abiding citizens of their right to these resources and turn the waterways into dumps at the same time.
Um. 60 years ago they were the grocery store. And a lot more people fished and hunted. Were you mad about it back then. ?
@@MrProfchaos71 - Of course not but that's not my point. Today there are (game) laws in place to protect natural resources, like fish, wild game, etc. Shitheads who disregard our laws are nothing more than common thieves and should be dealt with accordingly. Perhaps you would like to explain your comment, especially considering it has no bearing on my comment nor the substance of this video.
bones&stones 65 that’s your problem right there. You believe that game “ laws” are in place to protect resources.
All types of people poached. I've seen them all of every race or ethnic groups or whatever. The only solution is to report them n give them a big ass fine. Good work bro!!!
I agree 100% with you, there is always somebody screwing it up for the rest of us.
I'm half mexican but in my area they devastate bass, trout and walleye populations. I'm talking about latinos straight over the border. One got caught with 18 trout, limit here is 3 and last year a fucker had 80 walleye caught, third weren't even legal size. And they only ones around me that I know like to eat bass.
e fred Where are you pulling your numbers from when you say statistically, Blacks and Asians do it the most?
86sith pretty racist eh? You hate all Asians Bc a few of them poach ? Idk where you’re from buddy but not all Asians poach. That’s like saying you hate all black ppl Bc they steal, pretty pathetic
whats the good of a fine if its not enforced or dismissed in lue of ethnicity. The CA DElta has immigrants from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam who still refuse to obey the laws despite being legal US residents for over 30 -40 years or more. The relocation programs occured in the 70's and 80's and a few into the 90's
Thanks for posting this. I’m in totally agree with everything you said and did! I’m primarily a catch and release guy, but I enjoy the occasional trout, salmon, perch, crappie something like that. And heck yeah even though I don’t eat bass if someone legally catches one and takes it home that’s perfectly fine. I’d prefer it be post spawn, but legal is legal! Good on you guys and tight lines!
Thanks man, tight lines to you as well!
Poaching is WRONG! Get them legally y'all
A friend of mine was elk hunting and came across a group of people who were cutting off entire huckleberry bushes and stuffing them into their cars. Huckleberry bushes grow very slowly and it takes years before one even starts producing fruit. He was so pissed at them that he yelled at them all and made them leave.
REACTION BITE..THROW JERKS NEXT TIME See if that helps you out. Them poachers piss me off. I fish DMC all the time and people keep 13inch 14inch stripe bass. Iv called the warden b4..its the right thing to do..anyhow youve earned me as a Subcriber. Keep up the awesome content.
Thanks Ruben, I will give the Jerk a try if the conditions are the same next time out. Tight lines!
Someone snagging bedding bass?
Hold my beer - Mike Long
Somehow this was the first Mike Long reference on this video. Well done.
i bet 315 of the 317 dislikes are from asian anglers viewing this
Nice thanks for helping the warden retrieve the fish I can’t stand poaching
Thanks!
Vietnamese be killing the game
Any cambodians and mexicans you see? You'll call on them?
From my experience while pre fishing.
KT Long any cambodians or Mexican you see, youll call on them?
i have to agree... vietnamies don't give a fucked. They just don't poach 1 or 2 fish , they make sure their trunk is full.
@@brk1705 f.u..if you don't know what they are don't pick what race they are..
This is epic. Great Job everyone!
Thanks
Keeping fish is ok, but why would you snagged fish, and then dumb it... when limit is 5 per person. Dam poachers...
Yeah it is frustrating... they dumped it because they knew that warden would be able to tell they were snagging the fish. Dam poachers.
Out West with Chris yeah very sad to see that big mama on a stringer... which part if the Delta was that? I fished the Delta near Sacramento last week and it was chocolate milk even at 3ft of water
This is my secret spot, lol. It is in the Holland Tract Area. The water is clearing up slowly in around Sandmound Slough.
This is why im on first name basis with the Wardens here, and have them on speed dial.
Yeah man, it makes sense, especially if someone is like you and I and constantly out fishing.
Dang man that bass was a pig, hate to see stuff like this.
Yeah man, it probably would have been my PB. So frustrating...
Was she ever revived and released?
Yes Andy, the warden chatted with us later on that day and said the fish was revived and swam off.
Kevin Pham They're all dinner here.
As a former secretary of the calif delta striped bass association i'm not surprised by the actions shown here Many of asian ethnicity were placed here in the delta region as part of a relocation /assistance program for Vietnam.Laos and Cambodia immigrants yet these people still refuse to adapt to regional angling laws nor have any sportsman ethics. Worst part is the older ones teaching younger to do the same illegal actions and they think it's an acceptable practice since this is the way they fished in Vietnam,Laos and Cambodia. The Term of marginality and fishing practices applies here being of two cultures refusing to obey the laws and social rules of the country of residence . Additionally some sell their catch to black market stores or poaching rings with sturgeon and striped bass as prime targets. When caught red handed they pull the no speak english crap and try to lie to wardens to avoid prosecution and or claim they have a special right given their relocation status. I have pulled hundreds of illegal trot lines from the delta and stopped night time poaching for sturgeon via netting and snagging on 31 occasions
The problem has also expanded outside he Delta to the Ocean where high value species are being wiped out by poaching and the wardens can't keep up with the number of cases.
What needs to happen is licenses revoked for the prime offenders and if caught fishing again, proper jail sentences imposed, however the courts are extremely lenient and the problem goes on. Also for every 1 caught at least 10 are not and the native populations of many species are dwindling away at a record rate. Some depletion is natural selection of nature but that does not include things like a treble hook and snagging.
Last week i caught a poacher of LAOS ethnicity with 3 illegal snagged sturgeon and got the fucker on smart phone. When caught he pulled a machete type blade and threatened to cut me if i did not give him the phone. I relayed pictures and 4 officers were on scene in a quick time placing him under arrest. It appears this guy was selling his catch to russians for the caviar and to local black markets for the meat. Same asshole was part of a abalone poaching ring selling abalone to a asian owned Casino.
A know people think asians get a bad rep to quickly for fishing but the truth is they do poach more than other groups and the DFW arrest records clearly show this. A program to teach younger asian kids fishing rules is needed ASAP to change this barbaric old way of fishing. I know they have had success in Oregon and Washington with such programs but CAlifornia is a mess and getting worse. Thanks for stopping these clowns and addressing the issue here and best of luck in the future saving our fisheries.
Wow. If the pollution in that river continues unchecked.......no màs fishies. Lotta organics plus all kinds of crazy agricultural heavy metal jibber-jabber.
Thanks for posting. There's a lot of wrong (snagging fish / poaching) and a lot of right (helping out the Game Warden) in this video.
Thank you!
That's so messed up
Its pretty frustrating.
