FYI ;

2 weeks ago a local well known striper fisherman was setup by the RI DEM . he pulled in to the launch ramp @ PJ in the daylight with 20 bass / the DEM waited until he had pulled his boat & had strapped it to the trailer . they then slooped town , confiscated the fish,boat, truck, & he got a ride with handcuffs on .


And this guy has been a 'high hook" for a lot of years. He doesn't post here but if I put his name up almost all the RI guys would recognize it.
I was really suprised when I heard about it because this guy has always been in the top 1 or 2% with the biggest bass. Fishes BI almost exclusively. And, no it was NOT #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.

No boat, back in the suds.

Different guy, although I heard the story second hand, so I can't 100% confirm.

I was both surprised and saddened to hear it. Sounded like a big risk for someone to take and unfortunately for him it ended badly.
