- Fish and game approached me, he is very nice and just doing his job. He made sure I am following the rules. I got lot a little nervous though :-)
As long as you are following the CA fishing rule, you are good!!
Continue to enjoy fishing..
#sacramentoriver #fishing
Never saw anyone get shaking down so hard between all the questions and checking all the gear. Hats of to u Rey for being so calm and polite
Exactly
He should have said no you can't search. He was supposed to have the license worn and visible. Don't give the cops permission to search.
Yea man i wouldnt have answered all these questions thats crazy they want to know his whole life . I understand asking for license but dam i stay in central valley and i go fishing all the time i hope i dont run into guys like this
U must don’t hav any Asian colored or brown skinned friends.😂😂😂
We’ll I. All fairness to the cops there are a lot of junkie fish so maybe they thought he was a fish drug dealer 🙃
“If you want to test a man’s character, just give him a little power.” Abe Lincoln
Well this guy certainly failed the test.
Illegal search
Yeah, that was a shady game warden. Guy in the back seemed normal.
Looked like a couple of kids who were picked on and are now game wardens… but are desperate to be cops.
It was a legal search. They can check everywhere that some animal under their control could be hidden.
Everytime I have been approached by the wardens they allowed me to retrieve my documents myself. These dudes treated you like a freaking murder suspect. The chunky one must've been bullied growing up that's why he act that way. Keep fishing bro💪🏾
These guys actually go out in the woods searching for people to bust for illegal fishing or whatever. This has to be the most pathetic waste of resourses, plus the approach by the DNR was Facsist like in the questioning and wordage.
do you blame them???? They can be attacked , defend themselves and then lose their jobs. times are changing. which means cops have to change with the times for their and everyone's safety. especially depending on where you live
The dude was sitting there fishing with the GoPro on his chest. It’s not like he was sitting there holding a rifle hunting or something. They treated him like a criminal.
Many police approach every civilian as a criminal. They have an us vs them approach to civilians. Everyone is a potential criminal.
they are power hungry chicken shits. why did they make him reel his line in?
“I just want to keep you out of trouble” my brother, you ARE the trouble
Truth.
Facts
Amen
never felt like they was ever my friend never will
He didn't write down your channel because he wants to watch you fish. He wrote it down because he wants to catch you making a mistake. I learned a long time ago to volunteer as little information as possible to these guys. Most are cool but some will try to find any little technicality they can - this guy is one of those.
100!
Country of the free but can’t even fishing for free 😢
And he is upset after this vid i bet
I think this game warden is someone who just got out of academy and is doing their field training. He just seems new and is trying to not make a mistake in front of his field training officer.
I cant take fish cops seriously. Supposedly they have the authority of an officer, but I just dont respect them the same way. Giving out tickets for not having a license is a job for women, low risk and all. Wardens are rent a cops with no actual guts to be a cop
I'm subscribing to this guy's channel simply because of the fact that he handled himself so well in this situation. I've never seen GAME Wardens act so inappropriately. I hope somebody catches these 2 idiots names and badge numbers and files a complaint with their supervisor. Treating a fishermen like a criminal for no reason is completely uncalled for. Great job Rey!!!
Thank you for your support!!
@@reyfishingandmore..... Keep making cool fishing videos man I wish you the best of luck and will continue to support you and your channel because of how well you handled those Fish and Game Wardens both times but especially the first because its a perfect example to other fishermen who might be newer to the sport and haven't had to deal with that kind of thing much. It's really good for beginners or people that don't get out to fish much anymore to be able to see that it is extremely important, especially when fishing in states like California on certain bodies of water, for them to make sure that all of the gear/equipment they're using is legal as well as having a license and other tags if needed and that they're not keeping fish that are too small, out of season, or under a protected status like Sturgeon are because like everyone got to see from your videos, THEY DO CHECK!!! 👨⚖️👮♂️🕴🕵♂️👮
And from the looks of things those two videos, the first one especially, seem to have gotten your channel alittle bit of much deserved attention as well as gaining you quite a few subscribers, and your comments are mostly filled with people supporting you and saying the exact same things that I am, and so my suggestion to you Rey is to ride this little 🌊🏄♂️ wave of momentum and continue to make as many videos as you can while at the same time you try think of fun, creative ways to make new, exciting content as your audience grows until you find your own little "niche" here on CZcams and can start getting paid for it. Which you deserve. 👍
I wish you the best of luck Rey and I look forward to continuing to watch your channel grow.
Respect and admiration from Detroit, Michigan-the walleye capital of the World.✌ 👍 🎣 🏞🌊🐟🦈
Same
I am too ! Only met 1 officer like this before . I would have told him to F - off !
Yup same here
He knew Wich pocket you said but went through your whole pack
I’m actually trying to become a game warden, and I’m absolutely going to make sure that I never act like this
If you work for the government you'll definitely treat everybody like that they brain wash you to hate the public!
you won't make it then. protocol is protocol. you don't get to decide how to act. also if you run up on some cartel growing some pot in the woods next to a creek you might want to rethink your thought process. cartels are going to want you gone 4 good. maybe following protocol is best. ???
I have never met a game warden that acted like this!
You say that now, wait till you have the power to do it. They are all the same.
@@TruthPerspeciveit’s always the non law enforcement guys that come up with some make belief scenario in their heads that is highly unlikely.
I'm 67 My Dad was a game warden hanging out with him and the other wardens regularly was as good as it gets. All of them treated people with respect and told them that fishing or hunting was better at another spot or what the fish were biting on. One thing I know is this guy is burning bridges, he is better suited at being a security guard at Walmart. He wrote down this guy's YT channel I hope he watches this and reads the comments
all white
thats laughable.. wardens treating people with respect as they violate your rights..??* smh
Exactly , I'm disappointed 😮
This is the norm with California fish and games wardens...
some are really nice people, I would say 70% of the game wardens are nice and 30% of them are total assholes.
As a retired ranger I can say I’ve never treated anyone this way. Almost everyone a ranger encounters is armed in some way. Usually people have their license in their pocket, would he have frisked you if you had told him it was in your pocket? He shouldn’t. Which raises the question “why did he search your bag?” He had no right. He was just on a power trip.
Warden doesn't need the right.
@@youtubecertified4643 yes, he does. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Illegal searches are illegal, regardless of who performs it.
@@youtubecertified4643 TF you talking about? Your 4th amendment right is against unreasonable search and seizures. There was nothing about this situation that gave them cause to shake him down. The only other way they gain the ability to search property is with permission which he did do but certainly shouldn't have.
Thanks for saying that, I thought they were shameful myself!! Rey got my subscription & like !!
@@youtubecertified4643that was uncalled for!!
Never had a warden treat me like a suspect. Always have been polite and respectful. Whats these guys deal? Definitely need to be reported
I’ve only had one warden act like an ass. Most are really nice people but there is always an exception.
Try the PA wardens ! There Y I quit!
@@ecleveland1 same here. I fish a lot and get a respectful visit 2-3 times a year.
CA
They must have failed police academy school and have something to prove...
Jerks
when he asked for their name and they just ask him to reel his line in… gave me chills. this shit gets me heated.
He edited that part so it didn’t share their names. They said it, it was just off camera.
I've run into these guys countless times and never been treated like this. Man I respect your patience and how respectfully you handled this guy putting you in a very uncomfortable situation. This guy needs to be taken down a notch. All of this was completely uncalled for. Glad to see it helped your channel grow though! Well done man!
This is straight up harassment, tyrants they should be rounded up like a herd of pigs arrested charged and executed immediately.
It looks to me like they were looking for any little thing to get this guy on and then very quickly started to look like he was seeing if the guy was an illegal immigrant the way he was questioning him and really running him through the gauntlet of questions. At least they were nice, but I’m hoping that guy went to the 9th degree as a thorough example for the other guy for training. Otherwise it just seems like a fishing license check turned into them screening the guy. Kudos to this guy for having more patience than I would have.
I've been hunting and fishing in California my entire life and have had this happen a couple of times. Even search my truck. Poachers come in all shapes and sizes
@@jonnyp7978 they could care less if he's an illegal immigrant. It's california and they are not federal agents
Wake up America vote to abolish the fish and game, they have destroyed are wildlife by allowing invasive species into America, if you seen or ever been to one of these exotic hunting ranches you would see and understand why, and you would also see that everyone that owns one of these ranches are either family of someone working for the fish and game or friends of someone working for the fish and game, it's corruption at its worse and its also happening in are lakes, streams, and the oceans, past time to shut down the fish and game. Wake up America
“Just want to keep you out of trouble”…by shaking you down and checking everything possible. 😂 This was horrible. They were mad they didn’t find anything. Sorry this happened to you, but I’m glad you got good video content out of it.
"They were mad they didn't find anything"
---- That is a stupid assumption
Throughout the video the officers were kind, respectful and even cracked jokes
I've been search like this before no big deal
typical fish cops
I think they were going to give him a ticket, but realized they were being videod.
That was shameful!!
Terrible conduct from these two. They should’ve asked for the license and whatever other concerns they had before having a conversation about his personal life. They should’ve identified themselves as well. Mean while they are sounding like he is a criminal and interrogating him. SMH.
These cops were sketched tf out wtff lol
They not cops
damn im guessing they had some interesting people in their time to run this kind of protocol
@@dabadoo7631 no excuse to be paranoid like a coke head
These bozos aren’t cops lmao. They’re applicants who got denied from the academy and became wardens
He immediatly stood up and grabbed a knife out of his pocket.
My friend and I got checked yesterday - twice, on the Feather river in NorCal. They both looked briefly at our licences then, as usual, shared some good info with us during a friendly chat.
You were relaxed and helpful, there was no reason for giving you the third degree. Glad your channel is growing, I'm subscribed now too.
I wouldn't have let him go thru my bag no way. He was over stepping his boundaries with the whole interaction. Hats off to you sir for being professional!!!!
He wasn't even going to ask for permission
The lead warden was a dick for sure, but game wardens don't require a warrant. They don't need to ask your permission to check anything
@@ringofasho7721 even w/o suspicion of a crime?
@@ringofasho7721 that's not true 🤦♂️ they can not take your rights away.
@@theoldculture216 You obviously haven't looked it up. Game wardens absolutely DO NOT have to get a warrant to search you possessions, vehicle, or home. Look it up and get back to me.
Notice how the warden kept opening the wrong compartments looking for the license. He was hoping to find something he could arrest you on. Sorry you had to deal with these guys. You handled yourself well. I subscribed to your channel. Good Fishing!
Exactly! They love to dig through your stuff more than any other law enforcement, because they’re allowed to search without warrant unfortunately even when they have no reason to think you are violating a law
Yeah, I have NEVER seen anything like this before. In any normal routine license check, the angler/hunter is allowed to pull it out himself. But apparently the rules don't apply to Fish and Game
Yea
Yeah he was just a punk ass Warden. I sure as hell wouldn't have been that nice To him. The second time time he told him to take his hands out of his pockets set me off. I dam sure would have got name and badge number and filed a complaint that's fuckin ridiculous, just as the angler stated disrespectful public servant.
He kept opening the wrong compartments because the dude couldn't tell him which the license was in. The warden asked which pocket, the guy said, "you can check" or something to that effect. Language barrier, probably.
I honestly taught they was gonna charge you for killing the mosquito😂This is Insane 10.7 subs😁
From one fisherman to another, great job keeping your cool and not giving them any reason to arrest you. I think they were fishing more than you were. Gave you a sub as well to promote your channel..
If this happened to me as a woman I’d be fucking terrified. They were just itching to put someone in handcuffs.
I understand the need to check licenses and stuff, but could they assume this guy is guilty any more than this? Just a friendly legal fisherman getting harassed inappropriately. You just gained a sub for your calm and legal handling of this situation. Subbed
Why is there a need to check licenses or have them at all?
I could understand if they find people overfishing or littering or doing something that's actually bad, but the license is just an excuse to go through your stuff looking for an illegal bullet or whatever....What kind of people go through strangers' things for a living & sneak up on you in the woods?
@@tattooninjaLicenses exist because people do overfish a ton. It's the same reason for limits on species. If everyone could take home whatever they wanted, however they wanted then you'd have people setting up trotlines on every river. The money from licenses goes directly to making sure there's still stuff to catch. For example in the Chicago area, lots of ponds and small lakes are stocked with rainbow trout by the state every April. You're only allowed to keep them if you have a trout stamp on your license, as that's what funds the state's ability to stock them every year.
@@DJstagenbut it’s ok for a ship in Seattle to process one million pounds of Salmon a day……
He got profiled for seeming "foreign" to those guys, simple as that.
@@epochseven4197 no he didn’t bud, I’m white and they get me too.
I think I'm going to share this with their Captain and see what he thinks about this.
any update?
I hope you actually have the ability to do so, cuz this is coercion and an illegal search at its finest.
Hope u do
He's gonna say those wardens did an outstanding job. This is a standard warden encounter. Read the regs.
Lol
Total of 38 years of law enforcement and I reserved this attitude towards those who were a$$holes to me. These guys were a$$hats from the start. I'm sorry this happened to you. Tight lines and be safe.
Totally made a perfectly calm situation tense as heck. Yes, wardens need to be assertive but they can also keep it chilled to minimise negative reactions. Rookies man.
I’ve never seen game wardens act like this, this is crazy.
Some of them are awful. Power trippers
And that’s why so many people get away with breaking rules
Yeah they were acting like pos cops
@@Marcus96s naw this was over reaching. I've had a ton of interaction with them in the woods and on the water. Ive had alot that were cool but very fair. Some power trippers that go over board but they asked some questions that were digging to deep. You can engage way less and catch people easily. People in general are dumb and the ones breaking the law give off signs.
Yeah those guys were want to be douche bag cops!
Wow! I’ve been asked for my license fishing at least a dozen times and I’ve never been put through this! You handled yourself like a gentleman. Good luck with your channel🎣
Exactly. I appreciate the Wardens are out there working but my interactions have always ended quickly once I show my license that I wear displayed. Talk about f’ing up the mood !
@@ripDenmarkVesey one time I was fishing and there were 4 other gentleman fishing and they came up to all of us asked for everybody’s info he pulled me to the side separately and checked my background then gave me a ticket for failure to display liscense but the problem was out of everybody there I was the only one with a liscence but he gave the 4 white gentleman a pass
@@kgmotyhockey325 and where I live I've been harassed over and over but they are terrified of any one that isn't white. Seen it time and time again
I always fish with my side arm on me I guarantee you they would not be going through my backpack illegal Search I would be telling them to p*** off after I gave him my fishing license and Filing a complaint.
I hope Rey learns some laws, I love using " I don't answer questions " bootlickers will say, "just bend over and be their little dancing monkey" 🤣
You were so Respectful man. Big ups to you. You handled that so well!!👍
Glad to see youve popped off 10x since this video!! 13k subs almost is great!
I would have never consented to him looking through my bag. If he wanted to see my license, I would produce it and hand it to him in any other situation. Also, I wouldn't answer any other questions-I'm just out here [legally] fishing and that's all I have to say. Thank you officers.
That warden was so nervous when he walked up, he was ready to shoot. I wouldn't say that he would be a good security guard at wal mart.
Here in Washington state you don't have a choice. They can search what they will, and do.
He should have kept it in his pocket
@@brianskinner5711 Government has its good and bad. Washington state is a trap for men. Washington state violates the 2nd amendment, 4th amendment, 5th amendment, 6th amendment, 14th amendment, 8th amendment. The good is some law enforcement of the state believes in the Constitution. There are always good people living in tyrannical states. The bad is the state puts the stay at home moms to work in the courts and government agencies to cause violation of basic human rights and rights enumerated. The state government uses propaganda to control their population. As far as states go Washington ranks on where I will not go, but it's not at the top. On the good side, some people need to experience tyranny before they incorporate it into their beliefs and you can go to Washington for the education. Wish you luck man.
@@brianskinner5711to some degree but it’s not just a blanket search power. Same as any other officer interaction unless they have consent or probable cause they can only ask for your license, check your fish and the tackle you’re using on your pole . They could look in any coolers but a backpack would be off limits unless they have reason to believe you committed a crime. You don’t give up your rights just because you’re fishing but they do have a little more leeway than in say a traffic stop.
Hey y'all this needs to go viral. I've never been treated like this when they walk up to me. I fished in Iowa Minnesota Missouri in Kansas. They may ask for a license or to see what you're keeping once they see everything's legit they're always polite. That's why I say this needs to go viral because there's no reason for them to hassle him like they did.
Yeah fr that was fucking rediculous
I 100% agree this is not ok ask for the license make sure he is go to go and get in ur way this seems like a illegal search and profiling never have I ever see fish and game abuse Power like this
@@BV1180 that's why i don't like California in kansas we have guns so shit like this is less likely
No one cares bout the Midwest boiii
@@BV1180 it sucks here, if you're homeless you can do whatever you want though apparently lol
These are some of the most scared fish and game officers I've ever seen.
I commend you for being so calm. I think the situation could’ve gone really south but you did a great job handling this situation. I feel like most guys wouldn’t have handled it so well.
Bro, I’m gonna follow you for the way you handled this situation
Having his rights violated because he didn’t understand he has rights in the United States is not a good thing. This is how you lose your rights
This is what makes officers look bad. Am glad you posted it as there needs to be some accountability for excessive searches. I get that the game warden can check for license and fish that are caught but everything else was excessive in my opinion. The guy is trying to fish in peace and this was a major disruption.
It was a major disruption yes but imagine if this guy didn't have his license and was fishing illegally and they caught him?? Soooo many people out there that go and fish without it
@@brettbayman6650 the disruption is being they are trying to search his bag instead of him getting his licence
Couple of poo sees bother ring fisherman.
Checking a license is one thing but approaching him, treating him like a criminal and checking all of his bag for is isn't the way to go about it. If they are so scared of something happening they shouldn't be walking up on ppl through the woods, their fear doesn't trump our rights
I can already tell the dude is on FTO and he is being shadowed by his FTO also. He is being very thorough and by the book and taking officer safety seriously.
This is insane. Would never let them just go through my bag like that. That main officer is extremely out of line.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about them going through your bag. They do not have to have a search warrant to do so.
@derick blackwell yes they do.. there was no probable cause to execute a search.. they had no reason to believe he was committing a crime. They can ask to see his fishing license, and if he can't produce it then they can confiscate his gear and give him a ticket. That's about it. I've dealt with fish and game plenty around the sacramento area, and the majority of them DO NOT act the way these officers did..
@@california_company fish and game wardens can search without probable cause
I am so impressed with how you remained calm.
Its always the best way out of situations like this, but its hard
Thank you for showing how a man of character and honor should act when confronted by one who acts like he looking for nothing but a confrontation. That guy went way overboard and I’m sorry you had to go through that. Trust me not every wildlife officer or game warden is like this. Please don’t let these two bring you down. You couldn’t have handled that better and everyone complain see what they’re all about. You got my subscription my friend.
Your patience under pressure you didn't deserve is truly rare and commendable
"pressure you didn't deserve"....... what?

@@tremblence No they weren't. 1 of them was. The main one was a door knob and was looking for something to bust him with. Quizzing him on the rules and stuff was just trying to catch him in something.

@@tremblenceno right to go through his bag like that, out of fear that he's going to grab a weapon. These guys are clowns.
I'm generally extremely pro law enforcement, and appreciate their desire to try to be as safe as possible. Having said that, I felt the DFW wardens' interaction with this gentleman was quite overbearing considering the nature of what they were investigating. I've seen it over and over again, DFW wardens seem to subconsciously assume that fishermen/hunters are criminals on some level. Rather than problem solving like most law enforcement officers, DFW wardens seem to assume everyone is guilty of something, look for even the smallest violations with great determination, and enforce the letter of the law rather than the spirit.
Thanks bootlicker!

Wow this guy is incredibly chill 🙌🏻
I subscribed strictly because of how polite you were. I have no idea how much of what the wardens put you through, how many questions they asked are legit. To me, all they should have asked is what you caught and to see your license, after that, leave you be to fish. I would have struggled with the intensity of the questions. Please tell me he didn't have a mouthful of chew while speaking to you.

You handled it like a professional. His line of questioning was really over the top. Good luck with all your fishing and son's baseball.
no tf he did not. He should’ve said what is the crime that I am being suspected of. They cannot legally search your property or your person unless they have got a call that you have done something wrong he did the complete opposite of what he should’ve done. Don’t sit here and tell him he did good when he didn’t he needs to understand his rights he’s obviously foreign so they’re taking advantage of that. I don’t know how this goes over so many peoples heads.
he missed the whole ass lawsuit tf
The personal questions about his kid while the other is interrogating him as if he’s a criminal is just dumb. They wanna get to know the guy, do it after you ask for license.
I have never seen Game Warden make someone stand back away from them like that or keep asking someone to take their hands out of their pockets. The entire protocol on this situation seems so freaking odd. Normally they just ask for your Fishing License and Drivers License, shake your hand, tell you good luck and be on their way. It is like the first guy was waiting for you to make a move so that you didn't come home to your family. Sorry that you went through that. Hard to watch.
He’s lucky they didn’t execute him
Dudes a straight up D bag unfortunately
They’re racist. Of course.
He was evidently training his boyfriend… in how NOT to treat the public.
You took that alot better than I would have. I've never seen a DNR shakedown like that while fishing.
Rey, Hope you keep growing. All of the wildlife officers I've encountered personally have been the best. Hopefullly he was just a little off that day.
I would say more like pure harassment, no wildlife officer will be searching my bags without a search warrant.
They have no right to search your bag bro! These idiots need to be retrained before they hurt someone. People that scared have no business in law enforcement. You handled the situation way better than I would have 👍
I’ve never seen wardens or dfo act this way, and I own fishing charters and hunting outfitters, and am around them constantly.
The twitchy fat guy in front is ridiculous. I’ve never seen a warden so scared of his own shadow.
They was so scared
You handled yourself better than I would have my friend. Good for you.

Always ask for their names and don't edit their names out of the video. It'll put pressure on them to not violate your rights. If you care about your kids future don't give up your rights.
I dont know about anyone else, but I'm going to share this to all my social media tonight. I'm also gonna give Fish and Game a call tomorrow and check for myself if that was legal for them to search your bag. Liked and subbed, that didn't seem right at all
He gave them permission. Looked like the search was going to happen anyway, but he said it was OK.
I swear they look like tyrants
@@wdtaut5650 they are only allowed to search for fish thats it not go thru all ur shit a simple opening of the bag and showing the guy whats inside would have sufficed. Like I seen on plenty of other channels and in person myself and even then sometimes they don't ask that unless they see a cooler. All they usually worry about is if u have a license and trout stamp if thats what they have there.
Rey allowed him to search the bag he might not know his rights. This step over here and there thing was him boosting his ego. What a piece of work this guy was.
I was thinking the same thing. Post a number we can call
Ayos kuya! Things happen for a reason. Dumami subscribers mo dahil nito! 😂🙏🙏 keep fishing kuya👏👏👍
Subbed. You handled the situation very well. Some game wardens are Dicks. This video is a perfect example. Fish on!
You are an admirable angler. You have my utmost respect.
Well played bro.. subbed.
Tight lines 👍
Wow... Just wow...
I've had fish and game come up on me during a bird hunt. They appeared out of nowhere, and after I downed a dove, the game warden shouted what a great shot it was, and I nearly had a heart attack!
prove it
I’ve never been approached by a game warden like that. That guy seemed ignorant and like he was trying to intimidate. I would if told him to pack sand
They're cops. Intimidate is what they do.
You wouldn’t have said shit
its happened to me once there were people throw netting tilapia at the gila river in az and the game warden came down and talked to guys we were fishing about 100 feet from them and for some reason they thought that me and my grandpa had been with them and that we were hiding fish he was rude and when he asked from my license and i pulled it out and tried to hand it to him he asked if i could hold it up to him because of covid. dude didnt even have a mask on
Tell a game warden to pack sand? Lol the only cops with the right to search and harass without warrents. Worst than state patrol.
If you know anything about poaching in California. These officers did a great job risking their lives to catch one in the act. It’s a dangerous job if you’re asking. Noob
Rey your channel is doing well! Good job buddy
Watching this a year later and youre at 12.8k. No where near 130! Keep going Rey 💪
That dude was way out of line searching your bag. I have had a ton of interactions with fish and game and state troopers. They have never not let present my own license.
@Zac Brown, dude told him he could go in it. Not the Wardens fault.
Trainee, officer safety is taken more seriously. But did not violate his rights, fish and wildlife officers can search any container that my contain fish when someone is fishing.
@@brendanhurley5274 Some folks do not know, but Wardens have more authority and leeway than typical LEO's.
A ton of interactions? What have you been doing?
@@beebob1279 i fish a lot. Ca, Or, Wa, Ak. During salmon season in Washington fish and game is at every boat ramp waiting to check your catch as soon as you dock. They also like pull up to fishing boats and make sure all lines in the water meet regs. I also used to work in Alaska for salmon cod and halibut seasons. There is fish and game at every comercial dock and processing plant. I follow the rules and have never had a bad interaction. One of my best friends works fish and game in Alaska. I have had and alaskan state trooper land his float plane and rope up to my boat. He got on my boat but did not search my gear. He asked for things and let me present them.
I’m sorry you had to deal with very picky officers, I have started wearing my ID and license around my neck on a lanyard
i wear mine on my back they never say a word to me ,in 20 years
From 130 to 13k subs. Nice
They want to "keep you out of trouble" 🤣
I subscribed to your channel and I respect the way you handled yourself. Keep on fishing!
Subbed just because you were so chill, I know how it feels to be treated like this. Much love from SF!
Thank you!!
Thank god for those brave officers. Imagine the world we would have if people could freely fish!
I would send this to their supervisor
Their supervisor is rotten or they wouldn’t be doing this.
Wow!! You’re real nice to gamies! Especially a couple gamies attempting to unlawfully search your bag.
Wow you could just see & feel the scrutiny. And for what fishing. Ridiculous. Good luck my friend may you land a big one.
I've dealt with fishing and game warden while fishing on around 4 occasions and never ever ever have they been this finicky 😂😅
Subscribing because of how well you handled this unfair and unjust situation. Good job.
Same
The officers were kind and respectful
Feeling nervous does not mean the officers are "mean" or "bad"
They were even cracking jokes and said "sorry I didn't want to butcher the pronunciation of your name"
Blows my mind how people want to demonize cops just doing their job
@@tremblenceif it was a white male do u think they would have been nervous?
@@Cal_cutta89 1. They weren't nervous, they were straight forward and kind 2. Armed criminals & cartel "immigrate" illegally via Mexio.... cop must be careful
Same here and in Sac 👍🏼
The amount of professionalism in your voice and how you acted is amazing. Sorry these guys didn't know their spot. You're a good man. Good fishing.
Indeed!! Got my LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!
Alright Rey... I'm subscribing. Hope your channel blows up and goes to the moon brother!
I may or may not be in law enforcement and I can totally say these guys were definitely on a power trip, but good job being polite:) iam sorry they treated you that way
Why would you allow him to search your stuff treating you like a criminal for your license you should be able to look for it yourself and hand it to him!
Are you wrong…they have every right to search your bag
No they did not have cause to search him. They can ask to see if his license is valid, but ordering him to stand away and to let them grab the license was outright illegal. They had no evidence of him breaking the law, or about to break the law, and as such, them forcing him to stay in one position and allow them to search his bag is both a seizure of his person and possessions, of which they had no lawful authority to do. 4th ammendment should protect against this
Frightened ROOKIE Syndrome
@@JD21055 Unfortunately, fish cops are allowed to search without probable cause. It aint right but in most places it is legal. That is why real cops will often bring a fish cop along, real cops need a reason to search, the fish cop does not. Yes, that is an end run around the COTUS and as a juror that would be an automatic Not Guilty from me no matter what was found.
I thought all officer needs to consent to search..
Wow. I am checked a few times a year and never met a trooper like this guy. Even a time I forgot my fishing license they told me if I could get someone to send me a photo it would be all good.
In Texas they check your car license plate first, then they have a complete history of you. Once my combo hunting and fishing licence fell out of my wallet and when I got checked they knew I bought a licence but required me to send a notarized copy to the local court of the infraction, to verify my status.
@@larrytischler570 agreed. They usually just ask my DL # & I’m good.
It's not 1920 they have computers all they have to do is run your name and it will tell them if you have a fishing license or not.
It is still 1920 in Alaska. The DMV isn't hooked to ADFG. They just got to the point where you can have a digital photo of your fishing license but you still have to have your ID.
That’s because you’re white and Rey is not.
You got a new sub here my friend
I was fishing for crappie at White or Weiss Lake in Alabama when a local constable shook me down far more. He didn’t like soldiers. No citation but he looked hard for the smallest infraction. There was Wildlife sergeant in Big Lake, AK who was just as bad. Wouldn’t give anyone an inch. He eventually got charged and convicted for shooting a moose out of season but it didn’t affect his job.
I just got my license checked for the 2nd time in my life last weekend. Game officer snuck up and scared the living crap out of me! He wound up being super cool and chatted with us for a bit before checking licenses and went on his way. His parting question was" Soooo you guys have any regulation questions or anything I can answer?" Super cool. Just doing his job and assisting any way he could. Top notch game officer! This guy not so much! So much unnecessary tension! Stop acting like a cop at a traffic stop! You're checking fishing licenses!
Yeah if you sit there in your own world you're not really paying attention to your surroundings much and people do sneak up behind you got to keep alert
Agreed! I've never seen wardens act like this. Even on shows and stuff.
Must be in Texas huh ?
Here in Texas they are the best. I will tell you this. Do not lie to them. They already know
You lie to one here in Texas you just messed up
This is so frustrating to see! Respect to you for keeping your cool and being very polite.
I don't see how anybody could say this man wasn't being treated differently. There was bad vibes coming from that game warden right from the start. I go fishing quite often and have come across many game wardens, and I've never had them act this way. My apologies for the way you were treated. Feel like someone should be
As a bigass whit guy, I don't agree. My last F&G inspection included a search of my boat while the second agent held his gun. They even check my darn thermos. There often dickish...
Racist at its best
Yes DNR is so shit
I have yet to see wardens' jackass behavior based on race or ethnicity. Jackass wardens are just jackasses to everyone.
I just subscribed. You are way more polite than me.
Subtitles would also help
The way the game dude deflected with asking him to reel in his line when asked his name, he knew he was pushing his boundary.
Happy to subscribe. You kept your cool and you were very respectful. Stayed strong too and didn't get indignant and you proved you're just following the rules. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Shouldn’t have to prove he’s not smoking drugs drinking or littering there is no intent. What’s your name? Wow I love cops Sherrif but this is intrusive. 😞
those cops violated your rights by telling you "step away from the bag, ill get it" he didnt even ask for consent to search he just kind of suggested that had a right to do it and then proceeded to do it.
Game Wardens don't need consent to search or search warrants when it comes to suspicion of poaching. Granted they were kinda Dickish they were within their sop
@@Texas_Cody youre wrong
he told them he had a fishing license. period. no poaching was taking place. that means they searched him illegally
@@Texas_Cody this statement is wrong
@@Texas_Cody He was under no suspicion of poaching. They had no probable cause to search his property. It's called the 4th amendment. Look it up and educate yourself. We all had to learn our constitutional rights in 8th grade.
Great job dealing w these tyrants . I guess they are bored working in the woods and not a lot goes on so they have to hassle you. Great communication and way to stay calm. Your english is really good! Keep up the good work . Subbed.
This is utterly ridiculous, man idk if I would be that calm as you were. It’s hard, especially when you just trying to fish and make it home and one piece. I’ve never seen no crap like this. Extremely hard to watch! Good ol boys at Their finest. Keep Fishing Dude
Absolutely looking through all the stuff for no reason what a piece work
I’m generally a LE supporter, but this guy had no right to treat you like that. You did an awesome job keeping your cool and being respectful. It would have done you no good to get confrontational even though they deserved it. Props to you, and I hope you have success with the channel!
You should never blindly support anything, we are all individuals and some of us are trash. Most law enforcement officers are low-IQ pieces of garbage that do not deserve respect. Remember, it is earned, not given. That thin blue line nonsense is what got us into this police state predicament. I'm a veteran of two wars, and I wouldn't trust a cop to walk my dog.
How was what the LE did wrong? He did his job just as he should. I've been through it a few times in 25 years of hunting and fishing in California
The LE did a great job very professional. FYI wardens don't need a probable cause to search anything they don't even need a warrant to enter your house. Learn your laws so you don't post dumbass comments like this
Totally uncalled for acted like Gestapo I would of went off
@@davidreed6264 And you would be put quickly in your place. Go ahead and record it so we can see
Well handled man, best of luck with the fishing and the channel. Coming from Ireland, its hard for me to see the justification for all the cation from the rangers until you remember where the video is from.
It was the best of times (earlier), it was the worst of times (after Mr. Tough Guy & Side-kick showed-up). Don’t be intimidated. Keep fishing, bro!!
Searching his tackle bag for a license? Great manners by you, not so much by the conversation officers. Good luck with the channel. You got my respect. Thanks for sharing.
Hats off to you bc you're way more respectful than I would've been
The officers were respectful, kind and even gave compliments and cracked jokes
If you think this is a "bad officer" than you are a wussy with anger issues
@@tremblence I dont know If this is in the US, but were I live and officers acted this way people would hate the police. Its clear these guys are assholes
