I'm going to start catching crabs and it's good that you give us advice sorry for the ticket but glad you kept you head high through the ordeal you are the man 👍🦀🦀🦀🦀

breaking the law is leading by good example? where in russia?

Źz z

Well said, I say it all the time

Wow! What a great inspiration out of you to teach these youth how to catch and cook crabs outdoor ‘ Best of all healthy lifestyle and good diet ! Love this life ! God bless 🙏🏽💕💐

well fishing isn't free unless its on your personal property lake.

Virginia suxs

So they let you keep the traps and the crabs ?? Why did you get a ticket then...that makes no sense to me

@@zackmoore3456 agreed ! :(

@@icehotcap i know i live in Virginia, ugh just waiting till my years are in to retire and move away .

Good man! And ya know the thing is, that's how we lose kids just getting into the out doors! It hardly enough to get them off their buts these days! Thanks for being mindful.

Thanks for being a decent man All you can ask for now a days.

Thank you sir!!.

When i did my ride along with osp fw all he did has have pleasant conversations and give out a few warnings... no need to be a dick to do your job

My buddy caught a pregnant crab, special type I cant recall. He totally got fucked up for that!

Lucas FFF good on you bro,thx for being a concerned citizen

Lucas FFF agreed....officers shoulsnt be robots...they need judgement and that was clearly absent here

Lucas FFF Yesss. Anyone whose spent time watching these videos can see Robert isn't out here intentionally breaking the law. He genuinely loves what he does and is trying to inspire others to get out here and be active. He is very knowledgeable about the rules and regulations on so many aspects of what he does. His traps meet all of the standards except the address- I don't think that warrants $400!

Man those guys suck! They have no morals...

htown blow You can see the tags in the beginning of the video..."most likely" is speculation and incorrect speculation at that. Of course he should have known but it happens. Regulations change all the time. They should have let him add his address or given him a warning. He was right there with the traps and met all other requirements. Immediately after this happens he made a video educating thousands of viewers on the regulations, why it's important to know them, and then cleaned up other people's trash. He's not a bad guy, or a criminal. It's an honest mistake. That's the kind of thing these officers are supposed to use their judgment on. In this case, this situation was mismanaged.

Btw autocorrect tried to change FWC to feces. Coincidence?

Symmetry Tanner he should go fight the ticket in court

and it is a great way to make revenue .

Msilverhammer Yeah, because Rob was abusing natural resources. Get a life. You and those stupid wannabe cops.

Albert Ledesma someone's angry

@@SC-dw3jz citing them is correcting them

@RDLONG30 nobody made anyone go in the water to get them. Those people went into the water before FWC showed up

@RDLONG30 agree

Bunch of junk, law ant always right

THEY/FWC were giving out tickets for something trivial and did no harm to the environment. WTF!

I see hundreds of poachers every year when I go fishing it’s not hard to follow the rules just read them. No excuses. No special right for anyone

the is, its a letter with about 8 numbers folling with a dash a number 1-5 for the five traps your allowed to set, that number has to be displayed.

Send someone to the grocery and bug some chicken!!!!!!!!!!!

I fill half a dozen trash bags with crap I find on the shore every week. I also don't violate FWC regulations. We have laws for a reason. I remember when you couldn't go into the water without tripping over crabs. Now you actually have to hunt for a good spot. 40 years ago all of Florida was a good spot. Only by strictly enforcing regulations will one day Florida be returned to it's bountiful past.

Having laws and regulations are great and I'm all for them. However, the people enforcing them are stuck up egotistical dicks with no empathy and just try to make money and/or write tickets to make themselves feel powerful. You have a man that cares about the environment hanging out with kids trying to teach them about the outdoors, keeping them off the streets, teaching them skills, and giving them a positive experience that they'll probably remember the rest of their lives. This same man preaches and passionately supports laws and regulations that help the outdoors. He obviously had the legal sized buoys, which he marked, was following the regulations for the keeping of the target species, and had the proper tag on the trap with his name and phone number. He obviously wasn't leaving the traps overnight or anything and like he said for the most part he was STANDING THERE LOOKING AT THEM!!! Alright, legally you are also suppose to have your address on the tag and your buoys must be clearly marked(which they WERE marked, just not very clearly). It was obviously an honest small mistake and NO ONE WAS HURT NOR THE ENVIROMENT DAMAGED NOR ANYONE AFFECTED NEGATIVELY!!! Give the man a warning and halt his crab fishing for the day until the tags are updated and the buoys are re-marked clearly. Boom, problem solved. Giving the man a $400 citation is heartless and an abuse of power. I mean, come on. I know you have a job to do, but he literally had everything right except for 2 minor irrelevant details. The regulations were also written for a different reason, for crabbers who set traps over night or spread through different areas of the waterways so they can be identified, not for a guy walking up and down the shore with a bunch of kids and tossing a few out for 2-3 hours. Those details were irrelevant as to what they were doing in relation to why the regulation was created. Those officers are on a power trip and looking for ANYTHING to cite him for and steal his money. This is so messed up. This is why I HATE FWC. They use protecting the environment as an excuse to excessively use all of the power given to them to take advantage of whoever they can. It would of been easier for them to halt the crab fishing for the day(which was probably a bummer for Rob and the kids anyway) and just given them a warning. But I guess they really need to make money somehow. Very sad to watch.

Nunya, there is common sense involved here. Those regulations were created for a different reason. There is no need to put identifying marks on a crab trap your standing next to. It was an honest mistake that affected no one and the only real violation was one of "paperwork" that was irrelevant in the way that they were using the traps. In this situation, they could've just stopped their crab fishing for the day and educate them. That would've solved the "problem" and I guarantee it would have never happened again. But no, they're going to fine him $400 for illegal crab fishing because of a BS irrelevant reason. That's a crime. If you understand why the regulation was created, you would understand how much BS it was to fine the man hundreds of dollars in this specific situation. No one was affected negatively nor the environment damaged. What's the importance of having your address on the tag in this situation? "Well, it's the law!" Have a little common sense and decency. People are so selfish and have such big egos. The OPPOSITE of what this man was doing by trying to reach out to kids.

If they would have halted the fishing for the day and not given a fine most of you would still be complaining

@nasty piglousy Yes actually it will so they can be identified so FWC can verify that they have a license when not present. Poaching is a huge problem. The only way the FWC can know how many you are taking is to know which traps are yours. This is why you can't put traps in the water that are not correctly tagged. If you don't want to follow the rules then don't fish in our waters period! No tag means you are a poacher.

Vincent62732 no he is right it is completely true!

@Vincent62732 Dude, pigs dont even legally have to protect you anymore the Supreme court ruled and Court of Appeals upheld after pigs knew some women were being raped and tortured and did nothing. Federal statute below... "Warren v. District of Columbia (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981) is an oft-quoted District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to citizens based on the public duty doctrine."

Crime doesn't pay, all other must.

Do the math! 1000 cops on each shift in county. Half giving tickets while other half do other work. Required to give at least two tickets per hour of shift, Shift lasts ten hours, Average ticket $250 Three shifts per day. DO THE MATH! Then lie and say it isn’t about the money! 500 x 2 x 10 x 250 x 3 = $

100% incorrect

can only have 5 recreationally without a commercial license

banjolearner94 not true they had 5 traps, 3 types ea.. he just needed an address, he had 3 different types of traps, 5 of each. All legal.. it's Rob! He knows his stuff n brother has an app "fishing rules".. FWC took advantage of the situation

+Shaun Kz what do you mean 3 types each? Link the time in the video, if im wrong im wrong lol

banjolearner94 5 a person, if you didnt notice its not just rob....

C x yep hes always having audio problems, only bad part of the channel😁

C x yeah

C x yeah

C x yea

C x yup

+michael lipe thank you very much! I told the FWC I was filming for KZfaq with fans. I would've gladly made part of the video an instructional piece! Instead, he states that he could Carr less about my channel. It was ridiculous to say the least! At some point, you have to look at the situation and use common sense.

deermeatfordinner kinda sounds like a rookie to me. I've been a officer 16 years and that how most of them act

Michael, put your hands straight up in the air and hold them there. Know that what that is, that's called staying in your own lane. He's fish and wildlife, you are a sheriff's deputy. Dont tell him how to do your job, because I'm sure he doesn't want yours.

Kyle C that's wrong Michael may be a good cop . Being a cop is not a honorable profession anymore . But maybe someone like Michael may bring honor back to it

We will remember that next time you need the cops

@@teebzr5975 by we, do you mean other idiots like yourself?

htown blow that's not the point. $400 dollars for not having an address on the trap? I mean really? That's ridiculous.

htown blow shut up

htown blow.........YOU are just as much of a disgrace as the FWC for doing that. And the NERVE of you spewing that crap about "whining"........Do ya think "a whiner" would've CLEANED UP ALL THAT TRASH LEFT BY EVERYONE ELSE FROM THE ENTIRE PLACE AFTER GETTING A $400 FINE??? I DON'T THINK SO. Furthermore, I've been subbed & watching Rob's great channel for a very long time, HE CLEARLY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT "THE ADDRESS" TO BE PLACED ON TRAPS. For crying out loud, the man had his NAME & PHONE NUMBER, AND MARKED BUOY ON EACH & EVERY TRAP. How DARE you accuse Rob of "knowing he was breaking the law". You're just a miserable TROLL who gains much pleasure in seeing others get the screws put to them. Those jerks could've, and SHOULD'VE gave him a warning, because he had ALL his other information on each tag IN GOOD FAITH, PLUS they were all standing right there WITH the traps, COMPLETE WITH GEAR TO COOK THEIR CATCH ON THE SPOT. It must really SUCK BEING YOU. As a matter of fact, is must really SUCK for all your neighbors. I bet you call "code enforcement" to harass everyone you can in your neighborhood. Face it, YOU'RE JUST A PRICK. So "BLOW" THAT. It is miserable JERKS LIKE YOU that are the reason the government runs over We the People, and gets away with it. You even go so far as to WISH he had gotten AN EVEN BIGGER FINE. That alone is PROOF of what a miserable little PRICK you are. Most DISGUSTING comment I've ever seen on this great channel. Ya won't talk that crap to another man's FACE, ya coward.......because you would get your ass kicked all over the parking lot. AND YOU WOULD DESERVE IT.

Agreed I have nothing against The enforcement agencies that protect the people and resources but this seemed like they were just nitpicking a bit too much.

htown blow you sound like a piece of sh*t! I guarantee you that you are so miserable with yourself!

Jessica is taken btw folks

Cobialicious Fishing Team is it just me or is there a bunch of pervs on this channel

Camdyn McElroy yep there are tons... except me im a gamer not a spotter

Cobialicious Fishing Team love this comment.

Exactly, they would have found some other reason to fine even if he had his address on them.

Facts they are not there for education.

+Stephen Johnson thanks a ton! I appreciate law enforcement and know that it's a major part of the reason why we have safe streets and healthy eco systems. But what on earth does my address on a trap have to do with protecting crabs?

deermeatfordinner Well their bosses probably told them that they need to issue more citations or something. It's a bunch of malarkey.

How do the people have the power to change laws? Do they have that power?

deermeatfordinner I ran into this years ago with my catfish basket. It’s just a way of keeping people from just leaving their traps out and never picking them up, that’s why it’s a law but it doesn’t fit every single circumstance but it’s the best way for all to live by. It’s always the bad fisherman or hunters that mess things up for us that follow the rules and the bad ones were why the laws were passed to start with. Thank you for your videos!! I’ve learned a lot from them. 👍👍🙏🙏🙏🎣

Get hooked, Get it done what

Enterthe5t4rz true your right

What knives are better then? Serious question

Great episode. Just unfair you got a fine. A warning woulda been ok, you weren't doing any harm.

@@ridinhi530 um... no have one son and he's just fine take a look at the stats and statistics. You must be a low iq law enforcement special person.

xXx KRATOS x84x Gaming okay just because he has good “stats” in fortnite don’t mean he doing good? And actually I’m an outlaw and know how not to get caught but you can’t get your panties in knot whenever you get fined for not knowing the rules.. gotta know them so you make sure you don’t get caught slipping. But since you and kid don’t go out you’d never know what you can get away with. Just sit there and complain why you can’t go out anymore because there’s pigs out there writing citations

responsible hunters, fisherman,and trappers know and follow regs. i mean he did bring a trailer full of crab traps when all you need is a couple of hand lines for recreational crabbing.

Guns4Fun FreedomKeeper i

But he did in fact intentionally break the law. Law states 5 traps per person and must be identified with name address and phone number of the trap owner fishing them. Bouy must be minimum 6" and marked with a R for recreational. Dude was running many more than 5 traps. He even says he borrowed traps from friends. Unless they were tagged with names and addresses of others fishing with him he was breaking the law. If he's out trapping in the middle of nowhere nobody is going to question his invalid tagging. But in a known popular public spot. FWC is definitely passing by to see who's breaking the rules because people are always breaking the rules in those places. This isn't secret info it's easy to find on the FWC website. There's no excuse for doing it wrong unless it was intentional thinking he would get away with it.

Trebor Skeem Robert just needs to show this in court and judge will dismiss it.

Kudos x2!

Um no just bc u pick up trash on camera doesn’t mean anything

MORE REGULATION, WE NEED MOREEEEE

Except he was not law abiding. By refusing to include his address he was breaking the law. They should have added another zero to the fine. I am a volunteer who spends a lot of time cleaning up after poachers and people who abandon their traps. The only way to verify ownership is through a complete name and address on the tags and I would add it would make it easier if they also had to include their fishing license number. Half the phone numbers found on crab traps are for burner phones not in the name of the owner. Without the proper address it takes often hundreds of hours of manpower to track down the owner. Poachers should be forced to pay for that not taxpayers. The FWC were doing their job and based on this guy's attitude he probably gave the FWC officers some of it. They usually don't cite for first offenses so either this guy has had a run in with them in the past or he gave the officers some lip.

@@nunyabiznez6381 homie was crabbing not poaching. People like you who ruin the fun. I'd mouth off to them too if they fined me that much for something small like that. And you cant automatically assume this isnt his first run in with them

Nah...they consistently do this on their own.

Stuff like this but not the fact that they killing black people like it’s a sport? Smh y’all folks weird bruh

Nah they’re doing theirnjob

You are correct. They should have issued a fine for each non compliance trap. They were WAY too lenient with these poachers.

Golden Child Comical is the word lol.

No.

Silly human, criminals have rights! Citizens don't.

You are fucking dumb. As a fisherman you have a duty to educate yourself on the law before you go fishing

aureliusVA agreed, this agency also is not meant to deal with drug dealers

drugs might not have won the 'war on drugs' if that were the case. lol

SirSloop it just shows these days we have to read the rules “word for word”. It also sux because he has to take the time just for court.

meanwhile corporations poison the waterways... and the police are out knee capping dad and his kids out crabbing

They can’t really mess you u if you have a fish license only of you doing something illegal like keeping a protected fish or keep the wrong size fish I have my license both of them saltwater and fresh water

They weren't leaving the traps so the address was a moot point which he already knew so YOU don't know wtf you're talking about. There's always gotta be the one Karen/Daren of each group talkin shit.

Dillhole or should I say A*shole Baggins you really don't know the law yourself. His situation was a really easy fix and not cause for a citation of that much money, or anything else other than a warning. They just wanted to mess with him because they knew who he was.

@@benniegraham1023 or, stay with me here, they expect an adult and self proclaimed outdoor enthusiast to actually research the law and thus follow it. Especially when they’re doing something they claim is a longtime hobby of theirs.

@@briant9723 They weren't leaving the traps so he wasn't breaking the law. They were on a power trip. As for him "claiming" to have a longtime hobby, clearly you don't watch his channel enough to see that it's more than a "claim" and very much so true.

Very true

They have to be strict to protect and preserve wild life. A warning would of been nice but I believe since you had so many they believe he knew the regulations and didn’t follow them. Might seem an innocent mistake but we’re I’m from people put out more than the limit of traps and try to get away with it, and that’s poaching.

Well said!

@@fcuk01100 it's a good look for him to cheat on his wife? Wtf world are you living in. Don't spread rumors. She looks underage also

they didn't need to explain anything about address as the owner never left them unattended all that was needed was a little common sense

I agree with you 100%. They could be DFW ambassadors and educate people that are clearly not poachers. They were obviously not trying to pilfer the crab population. I want so badly to support the DFW but I've heard of way too many stories where they acted like MFers!! I think they are pissed that they couldn't make as a cop so they had to settle for being an ahole for the DFW instead.

dabeev. With all due respect, please don't call these guys POLICE. Most cops I know think these guys have a bug up their A$$es

They are police. They are fully able to enforce all state laws.

dabeev Calling them police is like calling a Marine a Soldier. Both have earned a separate title though they may serve the same duties.

They've specified what kind of policing they'd like to do, but are ultimately just cops. You have to become a police officer before you can become a conservation officer, DNR officer, game warden or whatever your state calls them.

Not in Louisiana you can be LDWF agent before being a police officer. Believe me I know ~!~!

+John Jarjoura lol!!! 😂😂😂😂

John Jarjoura No. Those officers need to be reassigned to overnight security at the Dry Tortugas. lol

htown blow, I have beaten every Old school FMP ticket I was ever given for fisheries violations or oversites. Judges hate the FMP/FWC with a passion. The only case I did a nole posse to was a very expensive high speed trip through a manatee zone, I did 10 hours community service on the beach "looking" for trash....and paid zero fines or court costs. Best 10 hours my wife and I were "forced" to spend together via court order. There is a difference between gross Outlaw breaking the law intentionally and accidental oversite that allows the officer to give a warning. Courts are for bad ass people who really have zero interest in obeying law where greed and profit are the main factor.

htown blow, I'm not an outlaw outdoorsman. If you can comprehend what I stated, what the Florida courts have stated in case law. If you intentionally break the law such as knowningly take a snook out of season, take lobsters out of season, take over your limit, hunt game out of season, hunt over bait, ect these are clear cut violations and reserved for a date with a judge. A watched trap or traps without an address is not going to fly with a judge or the state attorney who has to present this to a judge in court. This was a long reach of abuse of power for a cash grab. I believe the way the law reads is all non watched traps, traps that will be placed in the water and left unintended for a period of time must have name, address, ect...these traps are clearly being attended and watched.

htown blow, the law I believe refers to certain traps left unattended, soaking for days without supervision at any time, those traps are clearly being worked and attended to as this video clearly shows.

Right here officer

Pathetic

Is this you Joe Biden?

Hey, you can still fish piers. Lol

LOL :)

It’s funny that you quoted the Bible but you don’t live by it yourself. responsibility is part of the Bible and obviously they were not responsible no excuses all you have to do is read the law. PS if you’re going to say you don’t know me. you better reread the Bible before you quote it.

Lol imagine not understanding that it’s a joke

@@bigstyx What are you talking about though? The Bible never says “teach a man to fish...” anywhere at all. Also, Government does not own God’s creation although they say they do. God put animals on land/sea/air for His People to use, and be responsible over. He didn’t create animals so it would be illegal to touch them unless you have money extorted from you by government. Gods true Laws and Gov’ts ever-changing made-up laws are usually in contradiction with each other. Gov’t is not God. Clearly this guy was being overly responsible and was still punished for it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

classic smut ,that’s the definition of a quota! You just defined a quota

@there's rain on my muffin what you just said is completely false. LMFAO. get a raise for more citations and arrests. Lmfaoooooo

meanwhile somewhere deep in the everglades, someone is killing thousands of fish with completely illegal and environmentally devastating tools and making a profit from it. shame on fwc

@Jeff Schwab oh I'm sure there is a pamphlet in any bait shop that is very clear what the law is. He just decided to ignore the law so he received a ticket. Very few game wardens just let people off the hook. I'm curious how much the total fine would be if they wrote every infraction.

Careful you might get fined for outdoor cooking wihout a permit ! Just saying.

eyla0824 yeah but FWC rules and regulations require your address

They were there at the traps. Is not like they left to pick em up later. You sound like you are FWC yourself

FWC is doing their jobs, need to make sure you're compliant with the rules & regulations before going out. Can't be mad at anyone except himself.

Robert Garcia ok but if you are going to drive a car without insurance and think cops will let u off easy, they might or might not. Same applies here but no I am not FWC but I like to keep my Florida waters safe from overfishing too but I guess you wouldn’t understand that.

money grab to help steal more money to justify there job.... would you rather that group of kids be fishing or drinking and partying and shit.
