After attempting to hide fish along the Chattahoochee River, a Georgia fisherman is being charged for possessing more trout than allowed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
A Georgia fisherman is facing consequences for harboring an illegal number of freshwater fish. Officials with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division shared news about the retrieval on the agency's Facebook page. The post said that Game Warden Will Gilstrap was patrolling for fish activity along the Chattachoochee River when he noticed something odd.
Game Warden Will Gilstrap observed a subject hiding fish along the river bank as he was catching them,' officials with the Georgia DNR Law Enforcement Division wrote. Gilstrap spoke with the fisherman and found him to be in possession of 10 trout. The man was 'charged' with 'being over the limit of trout,' according to the Georgia DNR Law Enforcement Division's post.
Others defended the actions of the game warden by recognizing the need for limitations in an effort to ensure a thriving trout population and allow other anglers to catch fish. 'If unlimited fish are caught eventually there will be limited resources for everyone that fishes,' one Facebook user commented.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Georgia DNR for comment.
