this brigns to mind a situation i saw this summer. I was fishing one of my favorite sturgeon holes and a boat came along and joined me. THey hooked up with a nice fish and after the fight one of the guys reached down and lifted the fish up by the gill plate snapped a pic and dropped the fish in the water where it stayed on its back for the next three hours swimming in circles on top of the water. Needless to say i was pissed(i like my dinos) and waited till they caught there next fish and got my camera out and turned on the video and filmed them doing much the same thing to the next fish. i then walked out till i had cell service and called the number of a local F&G warden i know and gave him the video (they had left when they saw me filming them and then getting on the phone). i don't know if they ever caught the guys but there were some kids in the boat and i say if you don't nip this in the butt early with the kids and adults they'll keep doing it. maybe im a bit of a hard ::blank:: but its the only way some people learn
