Fly fishing the middle fork of the boise, i had smashed the barb with pliers. Two f &g officers approached, and one of them said he was going to ticket me for a barb. I explained i had smashed it off and asked him to show me what he was talking about. There was a slight difference in the profile of the hook where the barb had been and a very slight edge. The other officer looked and told the first guy that it was obvious i had done a good job of eliminating the majority of the barb. They actually argued for a few minutes before they finally just gave me a warning. Apparently you are suppose to carry a mini grinder with you when you go fishing...
another time i got a ticket for an 11 15/16th bass, which by my measure 8 hrs earlier was a full 12. The judge ended up dismissing it. The officer was a total jerk about it
