Crime doesn’t pay.
Our DNR here in Michigan posts monthly reports about the incidents they encounter in the state, and quite often it can provide for some real humorous reading. I was reading through the reports that covered the first part of this month and I stumbled across this little nugget from district 7 here in our state.
CO Mike Mshar responded to a RAP complaint of subjects taking an overlimit of pan fish. CO Mshar contacted the occupants of the boat as it was approaching the access site. Upon observing the CO, one subject attempted to throw the large bag of fish overboard. Instead, the weight of the bundle pulled the subject head first into the water. CO Mshar assisted the subject to shore and secured the bag of fish. The subjects were found to be 130 bluegills and crappie over their limits. CO Mshar ticketed each for the possession of the overlimit.
Now right there is a bad day. Not only are you knowingly breaking the law like a dufus, but as you are trying to get rid of the evidence you fall in and have to be saved by guess who? The law officer who is going to bust you. I just love this story. It just goes to show that criminals are just not that bright. Man, it just cracks me up.

I’m glad they caught the guys! 130 fish over limit - that is ridiculous.
They were well deserving of the punishment and it’s actually kind of funny.
That kinda gives a new meaning to the saying “you want to play you have to pay” I do agree that is a bit rediculus.
Oops. I’d say that didn’t go off quite the way it was planned. Thanks for sharin’ that one!
I’d call that going a little “overboard” don’t you think! Funny story.
