Ok so I was talking to a friend, whose son is a TWRA officer.
I was talking about watching the "Old Fisherman" on youtube and he doesn't throw fish back while he is fishing a particular spot.
He fishes in South Carolina.
He feels that once you throw a couple back it shuts the bite down.
I commented that it is probably different there but I would hate to have a livewell full of short crappie, or bass for that matter, and a game warden roll up on you in TN.
He said he talked to his son and he said, "Until you leave the water they can't ticket you for short fish."
So I could have 50 short crappie in my livewell and he ain't gonna give me a ticket?
Nope. Not till you pull the boat out of the water.
I call BS on that one.
Wonder who is right?
@scn what say ye?
