New York officers ticket striped bass poachers after discovering illegal catches hidden in odd places
Fox News
Environmental Conservation Officers on Long Island, New York, have been catching poachers after anglers were reeling in out-of-season striped bass and hiding them.
Late into the evening on April 6, ECO Brent McCarthy saw multiple individuals catching striped bass, and he witnessed the anglers keeping the out-of-season fish instead of releasing them back into the water, the DEC reported in a recent press release. Sydney Borchers is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
Since there was no moonlight that evening, McCarthy struggled to find where the anglers in question had hidden the illegal catches, so he called in ECO Christopher DeRose and his K-9, Cramer, to assist.
