what a total disregard for the law.

Mark Steven Jones and Robert Earl Wilridge from Clarksville, TN pled guilty to two counts of over the possession limit of black bass and one count of illegal possession of wildlife in Houston County General Sessions Court on August 15, 2017. Judge Sidney Vinson ordered the men to each pay $1065 in fines and costs, suspended twelve months of jail to supervised probation, and revoked their hunting, fishing, trapping privileges for 5 years.

The pair were caught trespassing by a landowner after fishing on Yellow Creek. Law enforcement officers from TWRA and Houston County Sheriff Office arrived to find the men in possession of 35 smallmouth bass, 3 largemouth bass, 2 red-eye bass, and 2 channel catfish. The statewide limit for black bass in combination is 5 fish per person making the duo 28 bass over the limit.
