re: Have you ever had a run in with a poacher?

we've caught a few people fishing in our pond, which is probably why we don't catch huge ones like we used to. most just play dumb and say they didn't know they couldn't fish there. I've made them put their fish back in the lake and leave. I usually try and be fairly nice, not looking to get in a gun fight in the middle of nowhere over a few 3-4 lb bass. But I always tell them, and this is true, if I see them out there again I will call the sheriff.
