Illegal To Lie About Size Of Your Fish...


Recommended Posts

Texas just passed a law making it illegal to lie about the size of the fish you caught.

"This comes on the heels of one pro angler trying to win a $55,000 fishing boat in 2009 by adding lead weight to his bass. He was caught and thrown in jail for 15 days.

The new law extends to both freshwater and saltwater tournaments. A violation would be a Class A misdemeanor, unless the tournament prize offered was more than $10,000, in which case it would be a third-degree felony, punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Cheaters never prosper, and now, they're going to have to pay."

Seems like there are better things for the State Legislators to work on.

I'd rather they spend all their time debating things like this. It keeps them from spending the time screwing up other things.
