The Stellwagon thread got me thinking, because although I don't catch my bass out there, I might finish up a day 4-5 miles out for some cod. It's very possible I might have a bass in the livewell if I keep one from the morning.

So if the off chance that someone pulls up to check my boat, and by the way just who would that be out there coast guard, am I screwed for having a bass in the livewell? Not that I think it's likely, since in all my years fishing out in this spot for midmorning cod, I've never seen anything other than recreational boaters.

In all my years fishing, I've never been stopped by a game warden, fisheries agent, coast guard or anyone in authority and that includes all my freshwater fishing as well. You folks get bothered much?
