Hooked on Utah breaking the law

[wormandbobber]

It is not that the guy made a mistake. It is that he has done multiple shows at this reservoir over the years and has always preached to his audience to check the regulations before you go. The regulations for Minersville have been placed for a long time and are very clear and easy to understand in the proclamation. The host acted ignorantly and, even worse, condoned the same practice to his audience. As someone who is on a pedestal by nature of his show, he should have known better and he definitely should be held to a higher standard than most. It wasn't just that he put a little piece of worm on his hook...it is that he broke well-established wildlife law. It is no different than hunting the archery hunt (which happens to open tomorrow) for deer and asking everyone on his show to take their rifles to ensure success.

With that being said, all is forgiven if like Amy said, he admits his mistake on TV, accepts his ticket and pays it, and doesn't make the same mistake again. Yes, we all make mistakes, but asking for someone to pay for a mistake and make amends is hardly out of line or wrong. Part of the forgiveness process has always been to make amends and pay restitution. It dens me that some people are minimizing what he has done.
