Those licenses go to conservation and the fish farms around here. So I dont mind that to bad. $20 for all the fish you can catch for a year aint bad.
Problem is always poachers catching too many too often. I catch a fist full of panfish and call it enough. Some people limit out and then keep fishing and keep everything. Its no one persons lake and just because you can catch infinite fish doesnt mean you should.
Fishing without a license?
If there's one thing the government hates is not getting a cut off of everything you earn, buy, and hunt.

"I am a living man protected by natural law and I have the right to forage for food when I am hungry."
Cool. You and everybody else. Thats how rivers and lakes get overfished around here.
Dont take more than you need, or there wont be any more to take.
The State did not create the fish, nor do they own the fish. just another way to over tax citizens with license and fines.
Meanwhile, here you are "Pleb, how dare you fish and hunt on the king's land."
Hate to break it to you, but individuals aren't over fishing and the people who are overfishing pay big money to the government to look the other way.
