Not enough punishment in my opionion but what it may do is make the public aware of the problem. I have callled the TWRA from the lake before complaining about this problem. Now that there are more people aware of it and the TWRA knows we are aware of it I think it will be handled better. We have to be the eyes for the TWRA because they can't do it alone. If you see an issue call it in and hopefully the TWRA will be more likely to respond. There was another bust last week on Priest and it was because someone saw what was going on and notified the TWRA. Before the publicity of this case either the fisherman wouldn't have called it in or the TWRA would have blown it off. A big thanks to Doug Markham and Mike Organ of the Tennessean for keeping the case in the forefront.
