lmao, funny story: I first fished sunset pond after stumbling across bigfishtackle about 3 years ago and the first day I went was a stocking day. I go to the pond and spend an hour trying to catch a trout with power worms after the stock. Finally, I hook up and the ranger is behind waiting to see the license I don't have. I pull in the fish and the SOB took the hook into its stomach. So here I am, no license, clearly no trout stamps, trying fruitlessly to rip this hook out of the trout while this ranger is behind me watching the fish bleed out everywhere. I get out the hook, and he tells me he would have let me go if the fish didn't die but writes me a big ticket. About a month later, I plead my case in court, and the attorney hearing my case happens to be a fisherman who grew up in the same Utah town that I did--case dismissed
