[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1072951, member: 5412"] Yeah, thats a pretty sad sight for sure. I don't know what poached caviar is worth on the black market, but some people will do anything for a buck. Those fish are probably 20-30 years old, and wasted. I hope you reported that to a GW so they can keep an eye on that location if they come back. Discarded fishing line is a major problem in all of our lakes. I can't tell you how many times, I've had to unwind some from my trolling motor or the main motor. My buddy's 200hp Merc had to have a new lower unit, as the mono got past the seal and drained the oil from the lower unit. Before he passed away to cancer, my uncle was a fireman, and on the search and rescue team. I went with him one time for a recovery, at a local lake. When he put his scuba gear on, he also strapped sissors instead of a knife to his legs. He was more afraid of getting tangled up in mono or trot lines in the murky water than anything else, and running out of air. I do snag for spoonbill on occasion. Catch and release. Its the closest thing to a saltwater fishing trip one can experience in Ok. [/QUOTE]
