Recently at the Sealy Big Bass Splash on Sam Rayburn in Texas, the Texas Game Wardens seized over 100 thousand dollars of fishing boats, motors and trailers. Over a span of two days, the Texas Game Wardens, in a saturation patrol, looked at 300 boats, 243 motors and 100 trailers. Those Game Wardens were looking for stolen items hoping to return them to their rightful owners. When it was all said and done, 2 boats and 10 trailers were seized and the investigations are ongoing.

To have your lures/baits featured in a Closer Look video, please email me at ffrsteve@gmail.com
Next video tell me were I can buy the stolen goods =)
You can still be charged with receiving stolen property. Even if you have a receipt. Buying anything without a title is risky.
They didn't seize SQUAT!!! They RECOVERED stolen property!!!
What a coincidence on the the thought of fishing licsence this video shows up🤣
Y’all are lucky 🍀 if you get your outbounds back! Down here in Florida 99.9 % of our stolen motors go into a container and end up on illegal gold barges In South America. Or on a tourist snorkel boat in Belize or the Caribbean! 😂 Never to be seen again!
Way too many jump cuts
I hate a thief
Excellent!!! We who've had our stuff stolen are THRILLED!!!
That's about two shoeboxes full of fishing lures.
I had a 10 foot Jon boat, with a 3hp Johnson on it in 1978. When I used the public boat ramp I loaded and unloaded by hand from the side of the furthest dock. I carried the boat in the back of my pickup and all my gear plus motor was placed in it. I just got back from fishing and had put all my gear and motor on the dock. I picked up my 10 foot Jon boat and carried it to my pickup across the parking lot. When I got back to get my other stuff, I saw that someone had taken my 3hp motor. I looked and hollered, but it was nowhere in sight. Either someone put it in their vehicle while loading or unloading a boat or they just put it in their boat and drove off. Either way it was gone, so I called the police. I made out a report, but I never saw the motor again. I looked hard at every 3hp Johnson I saw, because mine had a small, but distinctive dent that I could recognize without having to read a serial number. The worst part was, that was the most reliable outboard I've ever owned!
Ok now if they violated people's rights they would be paying millions for settlements.
Excellent video, you made some really good points!
Finally law enforcement doing something useful, instead of harassing fishermen.
They got one boat?
Hmm, increased illegal boarder crossings, increased crime……. hmmmmmm
Well, for one thing you don’t buy a boat or a trailer off of Facebook marketplace unless they have the title otherwise you are buying something that’s stolen. Same way with the car a four wheeler a side-by-side any of that stuff of course it’s gonna be stolen. It’s very rare that anybody is selling that kind of stuff, honestly there’s so many thieves out there now it’s easier to go to a bookstore and just buy it and pay full price to buy something stolen
Even with what this guy said what the game wardens seized is well over 100 and something thousand dollars and of course he said bass fishing tournament but he didn’t say it to the beginning. It was a amateur bass fishing tournament. That’s the keyword amateur. And not only that they seized all these boats, the motors trailers and all the stuff, but nobody got arrested. What does that mean? That sounds like a game warden trying to make up some revenue that they’ve lost
I don’t think this guy that made this video understands how much boats cost nowadays and I mean professional bass fishing boats they are over $100,000 a piece so what did they do wrangle up a bunch of rednecks that had boats from the 70s? I’m gonna watch this video but I swear to God if they say they seized more than five professional bass fishing boats that’s over $500,000. I don’t think this guy knows or did, his research like he should’ve hundred thousand dollars for a bass boat is going right now unless you get something that’s $20,000 and that’s not even a bass boat. It’s just a boat.
Just another opportunity to police for profit. We have an illegal invasion going on and these Traitors and Cowards are worried about a fishing tournament. Guess that Oath only goes when there is profit to be made! Mentally, Morally, and/or Physically UNFIT to wear a badge and uniform! As a combat veteran these people are disgusting, taxpayer dollars for empty uniforms needs to stop.
These online selling platforms like Facebook Marketplace should require proof of title to allow listing. This gives AI systems at law enforcement agencies the heads up about the stolen property. Even if they list a bogus VIN, correlation gives them more than enough probable cause to check it out. And I will tell buyers, always check the VIN, because you could not only be facing a felony, but you will also be out that money that you now need for a lawyer as they investigate.
Police State? No freedom from warrantless searches? Guess Abandoning your OATH to our Constitution is their first move. Sure wish enforcement was that fast. Nothing worse than a Pedophile unless you BREAK YOUR OATH TO AMERICA.
You said, "do the research" when buying used stuff. Can you give more details on how to do that? Are there publicly available databases of stolen serial #s, vin #s, etc?
Game wardens are the worst! When they approach you you have no rights, you assumed guilty until proven innocent. They can demand a license or ID and search you and your vehicle without probable cause.
Hope they had warrants..
That was funny, "love thy neighbor" ya, love there boat and motor…
They gave it back and didn't keep it?
Good for them.
So, the wardens found 2 hot boats, motors and trailers.
the State corporations are desperate for revenue
Good luck on getting people to show up next year. Local town here had a big Christmas deal every year. Local cops decided to start road block safety checks every weekend. Attendance soon dropped off and local businesses lost a bunch of money.
Keep paying taxes , keep thinking you live in a free country, keep getting your back broken by the bureaucrats who live OFF of you. Comply with the armed thief right?
typical game n fish terrorism
Sounds fishy guy… did you just need content?
