I’ve fished Michigan a few times and I gotta say it was by far the best fishing I’ve ever had in my life! People need to appreciate the laws that are made so we will still have fish to catch in the future! I’d like to see them catch the idiot fishermen that leave their trash and polute the waters every where more also!
I don’t know the circumstances of these particular wardens, but if a LEO works undercover frequently then they will blur their faces for that reason. These shows are watched by millions of viewers so they do whatever they can to conceal the identity of their undercover officers. I didn’t even catch on to them being blurred out until I noticed your comment, you’ve got a good eye for detail…..you’d probably make a really good investigator… Have an amazing day my friend!
In Maine during smelt season,the typical rumor going around is....The wardens are in the trees"....Everyone is very careful because wardens are"everywhere"...
Michigan is a terriblepatchwork of ill thought out game and fish laws. It's so bad many anglers and hunters are leaving the sports. Rules so complicated you're always in violation of trick laws....
Everyone bitching about how they hate the DNR. I have been fishing Michigan for 45 years and have not once had a issue with the DNR. You know why? Because I know the laws and obey them. If you don’t know the laws and break them of course you won’t like them
I'm Original From Michigan But I moved to Oregon in 2005 And I was so happy because Eventually when you are surrounded by water from North East and West Eventually Something Gotta Give and definitely has Michigan is losing more and more National Forest to Human Population And Eventually The way to hunt will be if you own large amount of Property and you got deer on it the other idiotic idea was eliminate Baiting of deer it was manageable all Hunters had to do was keep salt apples and other foods spread out further or plant some apple trees And then Michigan was Popular with coon hunting i dont know if it is any more because if i was hunting hounds in Michigan I be definitely worried that the hounds be run over by freeway traffic or new paved roads Were losing National Forest in Every State And these idiots wanna reintroduce Grizzlies and Wolves and now Bison OK so what's going to happen to the animals in the next 100 to 200 years Can I Tell You They will either be hunted to extinction in the wild or end up all captured and put in zoos or Fences
@@Dogmudmostly Columbia and its not unfortunate.....they are invasive.They were planted for sport but no one hardly fishes them and people dont keep them.They dont know they can usually.
Never have liked wildlife regulations that split hairs and change from being on one side of a fence or the other. You shouldn't have to have a law degree to be outdoors🤷♂️
They never let ya go ,my dad got acouple walleyes and he fillet them and put them in the cooler ,then the wardens came and said whatever they see has to be the legal length,I said the skeletons
I’m so glad I live where there isn’t a “ walleye season” here they are considered a garbage fish a nuisance and you can use whatever you want to catch them
Michigan makes their hunting and fishing rule complicated, why cant the legal size of a fish be the same across thw state, but no gotta remember size limit depending on body of water your on
Michigan makes everything complicated. They care about people fishing a few hours early yet they do not care about when dams break and harm the fish. When the dam broke I noticed the drop in fish dramatically near me. Michigan is the sea lamprey of states.
I’m glad I’m from Georgia. Under 16 they don’t have to have a license but do need tags. I took a guy with us on a WMA hunt and i had started taking him fishing at the age 4 at their lake . Then started him on hunting but he did get his hunter education card. Killed his first one on the WMA hunt and his second one the next year on his farm. He will be turning 16 this year.
I"m in Indiana about 15 minutes from Michigan! I fish there from time to time and never knew it was a Walleye season! That sucks! I usually fish only for trout and salmon anyways!
It's a fun game always being 10 steps ahead of the badge wearing revenue generating domestic extortion experts that are meaningless to mankind. Why hide the public servants faces....make them famous 😂
Funny how one illegal fish can result in 2 people getting a violation...Conservation laws are very strict....every loophole has been covered.People try to be sneaky...but there is no fooling the "Warden"..
Unfortunately, I know a few of these guys on a first name basis and I'm telling you right now. The needy families that's going to is their own freezer. I agree that we need good police officers and d. NR officers, but most of them in Michigan that I've ever met crooked as hell. I'm not just saying that cause I don't like them any timeI got in trouble.I was in the wrong I admit it doesn't change the fact they're cooked
My brother is california fish and game warden he wants his face exposed so everyone knows who he is..... was schooled was told wardens faces are blurred out if they might be involved in pending case's or under cover work......
These game wardens have one hell of a fish fry every year 😅 “food bank”
I hope the guys learned their lesson keeping 1 fish over the limit.

This is awesome, keep up with more great videos. Thank you sir.
Why are you blurring the faces of the wardens? They are public officials. They can be filmed any time they're on duty.
They're probably retired or something. This show is 13 years old.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 get a life
Or they didn't consent to being on a television show

They probably do undercover work.

Never cared.... I'm of nature and by nature. God is my king ....not Man.

I am so glad that I am from Oregon where there’s no limit for walleye. Where we could fish for walleye all year long.
Unfortunately, they are only found in 3 rivers. Willamette,Columbia, and Snake. According to the oregon odfw
It's that way wherever you want, when you want. Nature was put here by God...not pathetic man.

I’m sorry but taking all the fish for having one over is absurdly ridiculous
Follow the rules and you won’t loose your fish. The price you pay for ignorance.
The Montana wardens are significantly better. Charismatic, educational, empathetic and still stern.
Golie is one of the best!
At least The game warden in Montana willing to write a warning and more reasonable Michigan Always want money
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 because he is one ! The people are many.
They have a better chance of seeing you first..

DNR officers didn't even charge him for not having any orange on. Rookies😅
Do they need orange there?not all states require it.....we dont require orange and no one uses it voluntary in idaho.....no reason to
Same question.... why blur the wardens' faces?
To protect their identity.
@@ricomidence2063why send the camera crew with them? Just seems odd after several seasons, that was the first story where they did it.
@@ricomidence2063well that doesn't make sense because he's a public servant. You don't get that option.
Probably retired officer.
Since this show is what over ten years old more than likely those wardens now do undercover work so there faces have to be blurred just a thought.

Doubt anyone considerimg a walleye a trash fish. Get right.
@@rossholley4126, invasive species with bounty money in our lake. Get right
Trash??🤔
Wow, did y’all see the dude in the yellow shirt at 35:59? Talk about creepy 🤣🤣🤣
“Lucky them” ruined the nerds whole day

Yeah, it's soo tough to carry a book or just use the app lol
@@adamwilson4834 The book and app are not complete. And in 2025 rule books were not printed or put out till deer season was almost half over.

Being harassed by officials while fishing

Stay off the Betsie and the platte you pirate.😅 Just joking, man. You ever fish either one I live in between them.
My uncle used to live in Fort Wayne. I remember catching some nice catfish with him when I was younger.
@ 🤣🤣🤣
laws are getting crazy you got to have attotney with you or be one so many rules constantly changing alot for the worse.
How can you target catch and release bass then if no lures
All these episodes were filmed like 12 years ago.
16:36 them fish are dead
That is one reason I do not go steelhead and salmon fishing any more
These are the lamest wardens ever. Jeez.
Such a shame you were legal I want give out tickets and summons
13 inch walleye . Not even worth keeping
Crazy you can’t travel from one body of water to a connecting body of water
They are blurring wardens cause they happen to get in the pic at same time as fishmen
Taking his lures are bs prove they weren't catch n release
They don't have to prove anything dumbass. You can't use lures period!!
Get a warrant lmfao
Must be camera shy, for some reason.
It's a fun game always being 10 steps ahead of the badge wearing revenue generating domestic extortion experts that are meaningless to mankind. Why hide the public servants faces....make them famous 😂
Michigan DNR=Do Nothing Resourceful
Wow 3000.00 for not having a license, not worth it.
Holy cow Michigan has some garbage sporting laws.
These wardens are dweebs
Funny how one illegal fish can result in 2 people getting a violation...Conservation laws are very strict....every loophole has been covered.People try to be sneaky...but there is no fooling the "Warden"..
Yeah one of those guys should have copped to catching the last fish. I doubt he would have ticketed both then.
Unfortunately, I know a few of these guys on a first name basis and I'm telling you right now. The needy families that's going to is their own freezer.

Imagine your state is so greedy they tell you when you can fish for certain species 😂😂😂
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Before you comment on something, try educating yourself on the subject.
What a miserable life being a CO..... 12 years real LE at a PD.
That's B's if he is doing catch ne release that can be beat in court
My brother is california fish and game warden he wants his face exposed so everyone knows who he is..... was schooled was told wardens faces are blurred out if they might be involved in pending case's or under cover work......
Farts
Michigan wardens suck compared to Montana wardens. The show anyhow lol
Nope.
My tax dollars are used to confiscate fishing lures?.....WTF
Game wardens are easily on of the biggest wastes of tax payer money out there. Absolutely despise them and everyone I know does as well.
Bunch of wanna bees, to much power no respect. Directors of natures revenue.
