An officer with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was on patrol when he observed an angler leaving the Sandusky River with his daily bag limit of six walleye. Approximately 1 hour later, the same angler returned to the river wearing different clothing and began fishing on the opposite side of the river. He proceeded to catch three more walleye, placing each one on his stringer. How are you? How do you do? How many did you get? Three? Been here all day, haven't you? You've been here all day?

Well, he he switched clothes and came He had a limit this morning, he came back another side of river and I got him with three. >> Are you kidding? Good work. >> Hey guys, so what do you what do you think it is? You think it's 70? >> It says for each additional fish it's 70. >> Okay. I pray He probably needs three, man. He switched clothes and everything. So, I'm going to give him three. >> Dude, you can make him up Well, I don't know if you can on that. >> I'll make you I'll just give him three tickets. >> Yeah, write him three for sure. >> Uh so, you think 70? >> I do. >> Okay. All right, 150 then 70 and 70. >> Mhm. >> All right, thanks. Yeah. See you. Yeah, see you. Here you go, sir. I can't since you were three over, this court doesn't allow you just to write them on one ticket. So, I had to write a ticket per fish, okay? So, what it is it's 150 for the first one cuz that's court cost included and the other two are 70 a piece, okay? So, here's where we are. Let me explain this to you. Uh this is you are ordered to appear I scratched that out. You don't have to be there unless you want to, okay? Uh you have until April 16th to pay. Uh we're in Fremont, right? So, you want to go online and look up the Fremont Municipal Court website and you'll find your name on there where you can pay them online, okay? Like I said, one one's 70, one's 70, and one's 150 cuz they had to include their court cost on the first one, okay? Cuz they're not going to give you court costs on all of them. There's a phone number here if you have any questions. Uh that's the court number and call them because if it's not paid by this date or you don't show up, then they're going to issue a warrant, okay? You got any questions? >> No, I think so. >> Okay. Okay, be careful. Just do the right thing next time, okay? >> I will learn the lesson. >> Okay. >> That's the best lesson we can learn. >> Good, sir. Any >> Almost 300 bucks already. >> Uh you any questions? >> No. >> Okay, you be safe driving home, okay? >> In the end, the suspect was charged with three counts of taking or possessing over the daily bag limit of walleye.
