I totally agree with everything already said. Now maybe it isn't the DEM's responsibility, but while there's ranting going on, I absolutely can't stand going somewhere beautiful, which most spots are, and seeing litter all over the place. Also, people that fight a fish for a really long time, tire it out, jiggle the hook out of its mouth, and kick it down the rocks or shore back to the water may as well just keep the darn fish since they've likely killed it. Are improper release methods an offense? I haven't seen any enforcement officers all year. We obviously need more.
