Poachers Caught on the California Delta

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I've hooked a spawning bass or two in my day, usually by accident. I always turn them loose, even though I like to eat what I catch, I do have some morals. I've had more than a few encounters with Warden's, never been afraid of them because I don't fish illegally. I did have one who by all rights should have ticketed my family and I. We were wrapping up a day fishing a public lake for little channel cats that we love to eat. Had the car packed up and the kids, we always bring the fish up last. Warden dropped by and asked to see or fish. I had no problem showing him. Turns out we had 9 fish between my husband and I, and we should have had 8. So we turned the last one loose and walked up to the car with him. I apologized of course, my fault for not counting accurately. When we got up to the car her saw my sons in the car seat and asked them if they fished. Of course they said yes. He smiled at them and then said to me, "You should have told me you had four fishers instead of two, you weren't over the limit at all." Now technically that was true. My oldest boy was 5 and old enough to hold his own pole, and he did sometimes help reel in small fish. But the baby was only about 1. And that warden didn't have to let us off, but he did because we were decent and didn't try to lie about our catch. I've always been grateful to him, although I would have taken the ticket without complaint because I was at fault. These men an women do a terrific job with too few resources and too little thanks.

@@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.

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.

@jelloballsmcgeee 5 жыл бұрын

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 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.
