The good and ugly of henry's

[fshlver]

Great day and horrible day at Henry's. We started fishing at the county boat dock only catching a few. However another group was catching a lot of fish. I noticed that they would stick them in a bag and periodically put the bag in a backpack and head up to the truck. There were only 3 of the them and they made multiple trips to the truck with a backpack full of fish. I was at the blatant disregard for the regulations. As Karma would have it, just as I was on my phone looking for the number for fish and game an officer pops his head in our shack just checking licenses. I showed him my license and let him know what I had witnessed. He went over and spoke to them and had them show him their fish in the truck. They came and got there stuff and left. Later he came and told me they had well over their limit and issued a citation. It was nice to see fish and game out there, but it was horrible to see a group of guys with no regard for the resources.

Now for the report I ended up catching 10 or 12 but the last was a 7 pound hybrid. That was by far the biggest fish I have ever caught throught the ice and it was a hoot as we tried to pull it through. Over all a great day other than the incident early on. Can't wait for next year.
