For real 🤣 They weren't even looking for him lol. This fkn guy cracks me up. He'd be on here asking his patrons for bail money if they locked him up lmao
If it’s an honest mistake, learn from it and move on. No need to be a goodie two shoes about it JC. You ain’t gotta prove to anyone online or off your true characters. You are golden!
It's not about being a "goodie two shoes". JC did the right thing. He posted the picture and if someone screen shots it and reports him then the penalty could have been worse than a warning.
Internet trolls would have reported it quick. He saved himself big time. This would have turned into a headline "TH-cam arrested poaching undersized fish" or something. We all make mistakes owning up to it is what separates the boys from men.
What a great way to make sure that NO ONE ever self reports a mistake in the future, especially if your catch isn’t posted on social media fir all the world to see. The FWC officer telling you that he thought it was an honest mistake, after you self reported, didn’t exactly require cutting edge investigatory skills. At least they didn’t charge you.
I have been living in Brazil for 7 years and loving it. I have been watching and learning on your channel how to catch inshore fish. My freezer stays full now because of you. If you are ever wanting a vacation in Northeast Brazil our doors are always open. Keep smiling and reeling friend. 🙏🏼❤️
you did the right thing, man. These laws are in place for a reason, and if you helped someone else make the right decision as well, that's a great thing.
Staying True through the good, bad and ugly. The good role models are not the staged ones, but the ones that live and learn. Keep being a good citizen, on the water and off. God Bless!
That's why I always do CACH and release unless it's mackerel fish I keep 5 and I check the size or sardines or halibut that is the legal size it's important I'm proud of you for what you did it would have been worse thank you very much for being a honest person
Nice guy JC. I’m from Texas and I know sometimes our Game wardens can be asses, but they are just following regulations that are meant to save and protect our fish. You’re a good man and I understood why you turned yourself in. Cudos to you bud.
Good man, no harm no foul. Learning episode and you made a good connection with an awesome fwc officer. We all make mistakes, and I'm sure you've learned alot from this and won't make that mistake again lol. Good on ya buddy👊👊💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You made a mistake man, but you did the right thing. I don’t think you had any Bad intentions and this is a lesson for all of us. If your honest with law enforcement they normally will give u a break. We are all human my friend. Love your videos man!!!!
The easiest way to tell them apart is mutton has all red fins and lane snapper has a yellow rounded anal fin. Good job man. Your channel is one of my favorite channels. Thank you JC.
I went to court one time because I was fishing on SWFWM property. Very stupid mistake. Don’t do that. Most of the other cases were fish related and just about everyone who plead no contest had “adjudication withheld.” Basically you pay court fees of $500 and go on your way. Second offense they will hit you more and I’m sure the judge will make the decision vary greatly. But if you’re respectful and learn your lesson the hit isn’t too bad. There’s a lot of water in this state. No need to fish where you’re not welcome and keep illegal fish. Of course we all make mistakes some times. You’re an honest man JC! Keep up the good work!
I conquer JC did the right thing. I was about 22 and new to fishing (56 years old now) I caught a Monster Snook probably 38-41 inches it was a HOG LEG. Caught on a big Ladyfish at night. My buddies and I were so excited. We kept it. I had poles and lanterns and they had the cooler with the fish just bowing out on the sides. FWC unbeknownst to us , was watching us THE WHOLE TIME! To top it off it wasn’t even Snook season. To make the story short, all 3 of us got charged with having an out of season snook. Each went to court and fined $175 each plus they had confiscated ALL our fishing equipment AND after the encounter I had a parking ticket on my car. Dare I say lesson learned.
We all make mistakes JC , but that will be an issue if we don’t learn from our mistakes especially in our ages…I’m sure this video will help for the young generation thanks for sharing 👊 stay safe in Paradise my friend 🏝⚓️
Happy for you! You might think about changing the title, it pretty much reads as though it was a big mistake to turn yourself in. I'm pretty sure you don't mean it that way, especially based upon the dialog in this video. Must have been difficult, but you did the absolute right thing; certainly something many people would have chosen to take a chance.
Dude that's not a serious thing,it was a honest mistake,but I would never have told them about it.not that serious. I personally don't agree with wildlife and fisheries they make you pay money for a license to fish on land that doesn't belong to anybody it's a crock of crap if you ask me just another way for the government to take your money
The possibility of prison for a first time offender is ridiculous. It is very easy to make an error with so many different species. Those penalties need to be rewritten.
Hmmm, you turned yourself in and got a warning from the FWC. Those lowlifes that dumped millions of gallons or fertilizer waste water that killed tens of millions of fish in the Tampa Bay, I wonder what they got?
I actually made the same mistake but in reverse. I threw back 3 legal lane snapper thinking they were baby mutton. I don't see either very often where I fish up here in St Augustine. Tight lines 🤙 🎣
Your a good man with morals ,I’m the same way I despise lying ,thieving & dishonest people stay true to yourself I feel that God Blesses those who live honestly& you know that no doubt God Bless Sincerly Larry Mc Farland
Fish rules is a great tool however if it to be used to determine fish species there needs to be at least 2 photos of species that have very similar looks snappers/ pompano permit and many others.Maybe one juvenile and one adult. A note on these fish to be cautious they look similar to other species. Red arrows pointing to the areas that are different from the most commonly mis identified fish. The anglers that are trying hard to follow all the rules would benefit.
Because of the expense of hunting and fishing along with the very restricted regulations. I think there is less hunters and fisherman. I still fish but hunting in Texas cost prohibited to me
All first time violations are misdemeanors. They can arrest you and confiscate everything associated with the crime including your vehicle for forfeiture, if you committed a felony.
Good for you being honest. Most of the time if your honest with any game commission officers they treat you decent. Being a TH-cam Creator you have to be even more careful. I am getting ready to head down for a few weeks and I am confused about the hook rules. So I am just going to use circle hooks in any saltwater I fish just to be safe. Definitely will be getting that app
Good on ya JC. I"ve got nothing but compliments for our FWC officers and the job they do. I feel this will inspire all of us to do a better job of being stewards for our wildlife. I"m well past needing a license but buy one anyway just to support the Florida Wildlife. It's all we got.
So many folks are not honest enough to do as you did sir and I applaud you. I also applaud the warden for his discretion as well, he could have been an ass
Good move Rad better you. Than having some one on the internet turning you in ! You are a great guy and your Game management guy had to do his job nice that he just gave you a warning
We’ve gotta ask ourselves, or fwc has to ask themselves, is an angler who’s fishing very often is having trouble following the rules, maybe the rules are too complex. It’s akin to tax code imo.
That's why I prefer to catch and release. It's incredible hard for me to distinguish one fish species from other. Same with trees, they all look green to me :)
I figure they got enough folks in jail to put you in the pokie there are bigger problems than breaking fishing rules. All they are after is the $$$ in form of fines
hey rad you are a real fisherman! hey are you in the tampa bay area. I just bought a old town sportsman like yours. but my minnkota is the stationary one. I have a trailer with it. were is a good place to launch it. dont know really were to go thanks k matthews.
JC would it not be easier and safer for you to carry one of those plastic coated cards that they sell at every tackle store and keep it in your kayak or your back pack and be 100 % sure all the time of the type of fish you catch. That’s what I do. I keep one or two of those cards on my boat and if there is a question, I pull it out and check. No arguments from any one on the boat. It’s right in front of you in color. Just saying. Thanks.
U made an honest mistake. U learned from it. U won't purposely poach again. Reporting yourself opened a can of worms.U got a warning because he knew there was no intent to poach. If U ever make another HONEST Mistake. It's UR career that may suffer. Let's hope UR perfect from now on.
most fish and game or fish and wildlife want to education people, they don't want give ticket, enforcing the law is sec job, run in to lot of them hunting and fishing, asking question is the best thing you can do
are you kidding those officers are extra nice guys & fellow fisheman & hunters & they care all the fish & wildlife officers including dep etc. are the only officers allowed by all laws of our country to search & enter youre vehicles & houses & business without a search warrant ..... dont break the law conserve theyre wild life & ours obey the law they spend billions & billions of dollars for research just to conserve our wildlife theyre highly educated & exoerience more then we all can imagine
JC you do realize that some fish actually get smaller out of the water when they die enjoy your video’s hopefully at some point we’ll hook up & may be even fish some God Bless…
Thanks for being you JC, you’re definitely appreciated. When it comes to enforcement or FWC rules unfortunately if you know judges and have lots of money you’re treated differently. The first year they closed snook on June 1st, an individual was caught wading with 19 snook on a stringer, all were 15-25 lbs big female breeding fish. He went to court and paid a $200 fine. It’s unfortunate but everyone isn’t treated equally.
@@motofarmmx2430 You obviously never fished the mouth of the manatee river in the 70’s and 80’s, on a good outgoing tide you could easily catch that many and more on just a few hours.
yea i heard about that case. it also just depends on which laws you do break and what fwc officer you encounter. some are warnings others are jail time just depends on who catches you. personally, i can tell you i have seen people thrown in cuffs and the back of a car for keeping undersize mangroves.
@@tapper754 It’s good to hear, that they are enforcing the law, back in 80’s the good ole boy network was in full effect, who you knew and the more money you had the more you could get away with.
In my state political overtures and other valuable considerations turn the laws in favor of the commercial netters and crap on the recreational fisherman. So then the WRC officers enforce these crappy laws. If all you guys think its all about the good of the fish every time , you have had your head in the sun too long.
JC you are doing a giveaway and I guess I won but it’s asking me for money to ship the package. I’m not sure if I trust that if it’s a scam. Can you confirm through this message that it’s real.
Honest mistake. Could have had happened to many experienced anglers. Exemplary to turn yourself in. Ironically if you had discharged millions of gallons of nutrient laden water into Tampa Bay resulting in a rapidly expanding red tide killing tons of fish, you would have been OK.
but they were yummy huh??? haha I'm jk jc I've actually made that mistake inshore and I have a limit of mangs and 2 "lanes" so I thought and I was actually pulled over and I got checked and I thought I was all good but they pulled those fish out and man they were not happy with me..... thankfully I had them in the liveewell and they were still alive and it was able to let them know it was a mistake and they were really cool about it.... also that was a while ago before fish rulees app
Just a heads up. You phrase lots of fish in my freezer is a point of concern considering the FWC will most likely watch this. Remember the creel and possession limits. Also fish must be labeled who caught and where. And the permit number. Nobody does this but if you were ever checked a felony might just happen.
Thanks for sharing. All of the fish in my freezer were documented when I created the videos of catching them on different days. I appreciated your views, but I have plenty of documentation to show I'm not taking fish illegally. I have no reason to intentionally do that...
@@RadReelingFishing Not about legally harvesting. It's about how many on hand. They will be watching you like a hawk now. Contact an attorney next time you feel like fussing up to a crime.
@@tireballastserviceofflorid7771 Please explain about "how many on hand". You're not making sense. If the regulation says I can keep 5 legal size mangrove snapper each day, what's your point?

How long does that warning last? Cause I got a warning like 6 yrs ago when I first started fishing. Does it stay on ur record forever?
I don't know?
Lane snapper has yellow fins on the bottom. Mutton snapper has orange/red fins on the bottom eze way to tell them apart
as learned on "Florida Keys Wooden Boat Fishing", Alex always says "Lane snapper has a rounded anal fin, Mutton's are pointed." Easiest way to tell.

Better yet, if you're going to make a claim like this provide a link "here in the comment section" to a law which supports what you are saying.

@@RadReelingFishing The possession for fresh water is no more than 2 days creel limit. So if a limit on bass is 5. You can't have more than 10 in your freezer. Salt water varies a little depending on state vs federal etc.
Fb posts always ruining fishing. Lesson learned.
I would have sent you cigarettes in jail so you could trade for JC. We're here for you. All kidding aside, I will make sure I follow the rules. Thanks.
Shame u try todo the right thing because your an honest fishermen (and they stick it to you) how low can you go. Smarten up
To you, sir, who had your comment removed (you know who you are) you should be ashamed of yourself. JC is prob the most decent and honest guy doing fishing content on TH-cam. Zero reason to respond like that unless POSSIBLY his honesty made you feel guilty about all the times you’ve broken the law INTENTIONALLY. Glad your comment was taken down
I’m keeping all fish big or small, miss me with that 💩
I want to come fish with you! I fish all the time here in Daytona...just dont catch fish like you do. uggg!
Really, think about how real crimals are slapped on the wrist.
Just an honest mistake, everybody makes them but probably not as honest as you are.
