WTF?

From the article:

Although it’s not quite the same thing as being outed as a hypocritical “top,” there’s a crackdown underway in the fishing world—and its new turf is Facebook. The Department of Environmental Conservation is on the loose, having learned how to use social media from their 14-year-old children, and if they see you posting fish that you caught out of season, they’re gonna get ya.

According to Syracuse.com and the Watertown Daily Times, even just photographing yourself with out-of-season fish and posting it on your Twitter or what-have-you is now a ticketable offense, punishable with fines of up to $250 or even 15 days in the clink. Catch and release is permitted, but the whole “release” part can get muddled by the need to land the perfect shot for your Instagram.

“It’s all because of the social media thing and people posing with the fish for pictures,” DEC spokeswoman Lori Severino told Syracuse.com. “They often spend too much time dilly-dallying and don’t return the fish immediately to the water.”
