SPOT THE HIDDEN WALLEYES?


Can you spot the hidden fish in this picture? This poacher was fishing for walleye and froze them in a big block. When caught by the conservation officers he was charged with unlawful transportation of fish. Since the conservation officer thought there was more than his limit of walleyes, they took him back to their office where they started to thaw out the fish using hot water and a microwave. As they were doing this, the poacher decided to help separate them. In doing so he put some of the frozen fillets in both his pockets, thinking he would get away with it. As time went on, the fillets started to melt and when confronted about other walleyes, he denied having any more. The officers had been watching him place them in his pockets and made him empty them.
