Sometimes I wish I was a Striper guide. Skunking people for $700 a day would easily pay for a better truck!

So many taking my jugs picture out of context, which is my fault as I didn't write what actually happened. A Flathead catfish was connected to a jug I didn't see (keeping it underwater) and ate my live Gizzard shad. In super shallow water nearby was a jug with an ID on it and no hook. The two green ones were decaying next to my backwater spot tied together on a decaying treen branch. You can see some of the branch connected to it in the photo. I sent a picture of the one with an ID to a game warden in hopes they contact the owner to tell them to be more diligent with keeping up with their gear. Lots of anglers complain about jugs and our wildlife agencies seem to ignore them. Allowing some juggers to continue to not follow the laws, as seen in the picture of the unlabeled jugs. I don't touch jugs unless they are trash in the lake.
