Bucket brigade = basically bank anglers who keep everything they catch in buckets without regard for size limits or seasons. A majority do not speak english as a primary language(thats not an insult but the truth). In many cultures outside the US, catch & release fishing is uncommon. You KEEP everything you catch and that becomes food for the week and beyond. I have reported them many times for undersized fish or fish out of season(mostly bass). Once they get caught or warned, they move on to some place else.

Buzz, thanks for the explanation. I do see Eastern European guys (usually 4-6 of them) casting 5-8 rods per person (surf rods) and keeps everything (Bass smaller than 8") or sometimes, to save their hooks, they just break the neck of small yellow perch and toss them back. It really upsets me.
