I see it all the time where I live. Looking outside now, there's a bunch clogging up the boat ramp because they're fishing on it. And these aren't just weekend warriors either. These people are out there EVERY DAY, all day long. Everything they catch goes straight to a cooler and into their vehicles. So, if this exact scenario is happening all over the coastline, lakes (used to love fishing Fayette, btw), you tell me who suffers when TPWD clamps down on limits because resources are in decline?

As far as Fayette County is concerned, every time I've been there and seen someone doing it, Hispanic. Every time two of my coworkers (father & son) have been there and seen it, Hispanic. Apparently, tilapia are a big deal for some Hispanic people. Like, really. I've talked with a Hispanic coworker about it, and that's what he said. Obviously, the guide in the video knows who's behind it, but he doesn't want to be "that guy". And like some of y'all have already said, the bottom line is that TPWD doesn't want anything to do with it. It's a lot easier to write a ticket to someone for a minor infraction who you "know" is going to pay the ticket vs. trying to deal with half a dozen non-English speaking people who you "know" are going to wipe their *** with the ticket and keep on doing what they're doing. Like the guide said, I could see the lake getting shut down. Think about what would happen if a white, middle-aged bass fisherman gets into an altercation with a non-English speaking Hispanic, and someone gets hurt or killed. Can you imagine the field day the media would have with that? Especially if the Hispanic is on the receiving end? The state would gladly shut the lake down before having to deal with that mess.

I don't know about tilapia being a big deal with Hispanic people as I am hispanic and don't eat it. Law is the Law and illegal fishing is wrong no matter who's doing it. BTW I see this happen way too much when I'm cleaning my fish at end of day in Rockport. Never have I seen a hispanic at boat dock cleaning illegal fish. Usually trailer park trash doing that.

If he is this upset about 1 lake(which he should be)he would stroke out in 5 minutes down here on the Texas coast.. This areas resources are being raped by these same types on a daily basis.. It is worse than bad..
99% of the best bank fishing spots, that I grew up fishing, are now behind lock and key because of BS just like this... Closed to ALL..

Anyway, most Hispanics that are keeping illegal fish clean them at home and not the boat ramp.
