TEXAS GAME WARDEN – GILL NETTER BUSTED! LAKE HOUSTON!
This guy set up less than 50 yards from me where I was Crappie fishing. He was throwing an oversized (illegal) cast net less than 20 yards from where I was fishing. THEN I was literally shocked to watch him stretch out and swim an illegal GILL NET, over 100 yards long across the bayou.
– I watch in disbelief, as he literally “threw back” hundreds and hundreds of pounds of dead fish, possibly in the thousands of pounds!
– What he decided to keep, he and some other person would hide in the woods, and had others coming back and forth and loading them up and taking them away in coolers…
– Crappie, Bass, Blue Catfish, Channel Catfish, Tilapia, Gar, Carp, BIG Bull Shad, Bowfin, Bluegill…EVERYTHING that swims. Some of the BIGGEST fish I have seen of almost every species.
– The amount of DEAD FISH was astounding, and sickening to see floating just about everywhere!
– I packed up my stuff and left; Called the Texas Parks and Wildlife hotline to report poachers. I also called a good friend of mine, who is a licensed and certified FAA drone pilot, explaining what was going on. He very graciously provided me with the following footage he was able to capture. To this person, I say, Thank You very much!
– It took awhile for a Game Warden to arrive on site, but they did end up catching the guy.
– It only takes one person doing this to negatively affect a fishery for YEARS, and YEARS to come…
– AWESOME JOB to TPWD!

Illegals, no doubt.
Rape the resources, move a little, rape the resources. Cancers of the planet
this game warden needs a raise
That doesn't make any sense.
Thatβs terrible, glad they caught hi at least this time.
2 more of Biden's "harmless" illegas
That is a long-assed gill net. Guaranteed to snare anything that migrates by.
Romanian gypsies in Spain decimated huge bodies of water by gill netting.
I personally believe such people should get 20 years in prison along with 100 lashes. The damage they by the fishing equals the enviromental damage they by leaving piles of garbage behind. They don't deserve to amongst civilized human beings.
it looks like to me better get used to pole and line. It'll help keep your ass outta trouble AKA financial burdens
Is this by the YMCA?
So if someone does this and catch and eat the fish they did something wrong?
Great job done. Glad they got busted. π
These are the kind of people I HATE!
So happy they got caught ππ½
Texas has some of the toughest laws when it comes to fishing…. I guess he thought he was deep in the woods.
First thing game warden needs to say is you know what country you in boys? It's America and America has Game Wardens π
I'm retired TP&W and have seen it all. These people come into the hood around the Deussen Park areas and feel it's not protected under law.
Great Video but can you please blur the license plate to be respectful to the game warden
Just incredible and very sad. Is there anymore information on the this?
I am glad that they got caught. Give them a lesson please.
Fuck yeah! Get em all! I found a group of oriental guys one time, catching Sandies, bass, and carp with a cast net. They had a cooler full.
Was this on Benβs Branch?
Although snitching goes against my nature, I've got Operation Game Thief in my contacts and will drop a dime on any abuse of fish or game over-harvest violations.
This is right down the street from me (I'm on Knoll Manor) and it makes me so angry to see. It's not just about following rules… Yeah, there are plenty of ways to catch a whole lot of fish, but what people fail to realize is how this can decimate an ecosystem. I mean, you've potentially got the mid section of a food chain in that net. I'm glad he was caught when he was and hopefully he gets hammered with a hell of a fine and at least thinks twice about doing it again. Thank you guys for helping catch them.
This is awesome. Good on ya for turning these turds in. I hope they get run through the ringer, to fullest extent of the law and then some. Arseholes!
The massive amount of things thrown away on a shrimp boat every day makes this guy look not that bad. They all need to cut it out
Good, glad they busted his @$$, i hope they fine the hell out of him.
This must be the reason I can rarely catch a fish on Lake Houston
This is awesome subbed
Its disrespectful for these guys stealing fish from the resources. Big props for the person or persons for turning these guys in. Not knowing how long this would have gone on. I'm glad to see that someone did the right thing. ππΎπ―
Awesome video! Thanks for taking your time out to get this on the net.
Blur the game warden's license plate bro.. disrespectful AF. C'mon now
