Bout like catching a red snapper on accident out of season and taking pictures of it and releasing it
The lady was probably disturbing a nesting sea turtle |
You have no clue about the severe penalties of Sea Turtle until you work offshore

The lady was with a guide and she saw it swimming ..she asked the guide for the WLF #... They put in net and called WLF
They were located in turners ... The WLF told her to release the turtle and set anchor and do not move until Enforcement shows up.. She was given a citation for removing endangered species and almost was arrested .. This was last month on big lake. The guide had to bring her back into dock ASAP
They don't play with Sea Turtles
