In this body cam video, a wildlife officer investigates a tip from someone who witnessed a fisherman on a beach with a stringer of fish that are out of season and illegal to keep. Hi, I'm with FWC. How you doing? Good. You having some luck today? I saw you got some fish over there. Let's go take a look at what you got real quick. Okay, then we'll take a peek at your fishing license as well. Did you catch all these today? We We'll figure it out. Okay, let's go take a look at your fish. What kind of stuff did you get today? You don't know much about fish. Okay, just stay right there for me. So, I see you got a sheep's head. It's a black drum. got snook as well. Okay. So, do you have your ID with you? Um, just got you. Well, so just just so you know, Snooker out of seas right now. You know that, right? And you know what the bag limit is on Snook? Um, it's one per person per day. Okay. So, I got to check these other fish, too. Here, let me see that. Got to take these live. All righty. Do you have your license? Okay. Well, you need to make sure you study up on the regulations because you can get yourself in serious trouble. You know, you could go to jail for this. You know that, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's I mean you already kept them. You don't have your ID with you, sir? I'm going to take your name and date of birth. Okay. In a minute here, I'm going to take these and then I'm going to have you walk back to my truck with me. Okay. Cuz I got to do some documentation. It's about 10 minutes from here. Okay. Yeah. Go ahead and get that rounded up and we'll discuss this in a minute. Okay. You don't have any weapons on you or anything? You mind if you lift your shirt up real quick? No weapons. Okay, good. 93 32 Naples. Yeah. Fishing rod. No, no, no. I'm going to take these. Hey, these jet had these. These already leaps fast. Going to be out of Ohio. Any fish in here? Take a little shortcut. I don't hear anybody for sure. Yeah. Everything here. Just have you stand right there for me. I do this. Oh, yeah. Well, I got to get the fish off there that I need. Oh, yeah. I'm prepared. So snook should be 28 to 33. So that's short. Yeah. Out of season as I know. Even if it's in I got to double check. Even if it were in season, you have to be over the bag limit anyway. All righty. This You're still on. All right. So, I'll go and have you stand in front of my truck for me. Okay. I just got to go and do some stuff in there. Hey, just uh stay up there for me so I can see you. Okay, so I did cut you somewhat of a break today, okay? Because this could have ended up in you going to jail. You had about seven different misdemeanors, but instead of charging you with every misdemeanor, I gave you four charges. Okay. So, I gave you one count of uh the snook size limits. Okay. As you had three undersized snook, that could have been three separate charges, but I only gave you one charge. Okay. Yeah. Next one. Violation of mistain snook recreational bag limits. Uh you had three snook. Even if it was open season, you're only allowed to have one per day. Okay. Yeah. But I only gave you one count of that instead of two charges over the bag. Okay. And then uh third charge is going to be for the closed season. I only gave you one instead of three counts. Okay. So, I only gave you one charge for that. And then the last one is a size limit. You had an undersized sheep's head in there as well. That one fish, it was too short. It needs to be 12 in. Okay. That was under size. Um, so for this, since it is a misdemeanor, since these are all misdemeanors, you must appear in court. Okay? So, but like I said, this is instead of me going to jail. You're just agreeing to uh take care of it, okay? And show off the core. I did see you had some history for undersized fish from Penllis County. I saw from mangrove snapper or something. Yeah, it looks like a 2019. So, these two are good. You can have these. You don't want them. You know what? Deep, keep your fish. I mean, De's got to stay with me, but keep me. You don't want them. All right. All righty. Well, you got 30 days to pay it. Yeah. Then the other thing is the court date. You have to go to court at Collier County Court. Okay. So, it actually opens in March. Okay. Yeah.
