Anyone else experience this?

I have to agree with the general sentiment on this board. It's a good thing to report issues like this but I don't think I would ever get involved by confronting the person that is violating the law. It's the same as seeing a speeder go by, unless the violation was serious I doubt anyone would bother to call the police to report it. In this way I think the fishing violation in this case was similar.

I personally believe that people that keep fish with no intention to consume it is based on inexperience. If I never went fishing and caught a large fish for the first time, I think I would want to keep it in some irrational trophy kind of way. Now that I have been fishing for years, all I really want is a picture with them and I set them free. With that being the case, I need a 7 lbs bass to land on my line, I just want a picture with you lol!
