Snagging has been illegal here in Michigan for quite a while now . It's a pretty ugly way to catch a fish... or a human, if you happen to be standing next to some smashed 'fisherman', that has a 4oz wieghted treble hook swingin' around like some cowboy on ether .

Nice find Hujambo.

Yep, snagging is illegal almsot everywhere now. But some suckers still do it. Just like gill nets and the like. Completely ruins it for someone trying to fish honestly.

It isn't as fun as it used to be with the huge fines, but I don't see at as any more ugly as hooking in the mouth, youre just going to skin and gut it anyway.

maybe it's a regional thing.
we have trebel hooks... afghans have bazookas...

All that and only one fish. Kind of a waste isn't it?

oh yeah, up here in the north (of michigan), there's lots of snaggers. the dnr has gotten real creative in catching snaggers.

i've heard of one officer dressing up in drag, and arresting people. i've heard other times when he's dressed up all in fishing gear, and arrested people, and i've heard times of him getting in one of those little personal inner tube / waders, and floating down the river, to catch people.

I used to go with people snaggin, but to be the lookout. I never got too much into the snaggin itself.

Now-a-days, I just order the fish dinner at the restaurant =).
