Sorry JC

I understand if it is not signed or the regs have just changed, then it only happens once and yes you feel real bad, maybe pick up extra litter next time you are C&R'ing on the river.

BUT by the sounds of the males laugh he KNEW he KNEW, and that is what gets to me, I am not a total hardA##, but somethings get me going, and I can usually read the sit.... I like to educate more then punish.... when the situation calls for it...
