They just don't have it on the boat on the boat. So. All right. So, like we talked about earlier, you have two resource violations, and then you got two uh boating safety violations, okay? You don't have your throwable device, you don't have your registration on board, and then you got two fish that are undersized, okay? Um I'm >> I'd like for you to measure those fish on your measure board so I can take a photo. >> I already took a photo of it. >> I need to take me a photo. I should have that right, shouldn't I? >> It's going to be on the report, and it's public record, so when I get done >> I need to measure >> an opportunity to to video >> You can look at the fish. It's undersized. You measured it and you said that it was undersized. And you said it was undersized. >> quarter inch short. >> Okay, so it's a quarter inch short.

The grouper is. That one is a quarter inch. >> You're not going to let me measure that. >> When we get done talking, if you want to take a picture, but the report's going to have the picture I took, okay?

This is yours. This is your warnings. This is the court copy of your citation. By signing, you're not admitting to guilt. You're just saying that you're going to comply. And that means you're going to show up to court whether it's to pay for your >> I'm going to comply. Three warnings on a violation, I don't think that's fair. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, the court date is on the bottom, okay? >> Is mandatory court date? >> It's mandatory court date. Um >> You can call them and give them about four or five days. You can call over the phone. You can You can plea over the phone or whatever. You don't have to go to the court, but you can plea over the phone, but you got to do it before that date. >> Okay. All right. >> No, miss it. Three out of four, I think that's fair. >> I mean, we could have sat here and wrote you for all kinds of >> hundreds of fish that we've been in up through that. >> All right. >> We appreciate it. So, on the bottom of your citation, April 24th at 8:30 a.m. If for whatever reason that date doesn't work for you, call them before beforehand and they usually work with you and change the date if you need to. >> I'll call them today. >> Okay.

Yes. >> It's sure. >> Yeah. >> 19 and a half. >> 19 and a half, really? But yep. Do you have any questions for me? I get Yes. Um do you have your >> Turn it back to the resource. >> Do you have your driver's license? >> Pardon me? >> Your driver's license and I give it back to you. And then we don't have anything else. We don't have a registration or anything like so. All right. We're good. >> All right. Thanks. >> All right. >> In the end, the suspect was charged with possessing or harvesting an undersized red grouper in or from state waters. Unfortunately, we cannot locate any court records from this case. This could be a clerical error from the court or it may have to do with the fact that the charge was specific to state waters and the fish may have been caught in federal waters.
