Has anyone called the LDWF hotline when you knew someone was breaking law and they actually came out and either arrested or wrote a ticket?

Indirectly responsible for this one. Made the call that got the ball rolling.
Two Men Arrested For Shark Violations In Plaquemines Parish
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents participated in a joint enforcement patrol that resulted in two men arrested for alleged fishing violations in Plaquemines Parish on April 8.
Agents arrested Rick Nguyen, 37, of Buras, and Hung Anh Tiet, 29, of Dallas, Texas, for over the limit of sharks taken commercially, shark “finning” and intentional concealment of illegal fish and booked them into the Plaquemines Parish Jail.
Agents made contact with Nguyen and Tiet while responding to an anonymous complaint. Agents stopped the vessel “Lady Lyanna” in Tiger Pass located in Venice.
Agents found 11 whole sharks located on the deck and a hidden compartment in the bow of the vessel that contained 12 large sacks of shark fins totaling 2,073 fins. The bodies of the fins found in the sacks were not found on the vessel.
The 2,073 individual fins represent a total of 518 sharks possessed by the two fishermen bringing the total number of sharks possessed to 529. The daily commercial limit for sharks in Louisiana is 33 per vessel placing the two men 496 sharks over their daily limit.
Shark “finning” is an illegal practice of removing the shark’s fins, which are the most profitable part of the shark, and then discarding the rest of the shark’s body overboard.
Over the daily commercial limit of sharks and shark “finning” each bring up to a $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Intentional concealment of illegal fish or game carries a fine up to $950 and up to 120 days in jail.
LDWF agents are continuing their investigation into this case and more penalties could be pending including civil restitution for the value of the illegally taken sharks. Nguyen and Tiet face up to $26,450 in civil restitution penalties based off of an estimated value of $50 per shark.
Agents participating in the case are Sgt. Adam Young and Senior Agent Villere Reggio.

Reported a guy poaching turkeys when i was younger. I could see it strutting on a pipeline from the road, and the guy had pulled over on the side of the road putting his camo on. I called the game warden, but they didnt get there until after the guy had killed the gobbler. The property owner ended up not pressing charges smh!

Considering T-Paul probably does that every time he goes fishing and also goes out roosting wood ducks before daylight, and maybe spotlights the occasional deer while trespassing on somebody's lease, I don't make a distinction between him and the shark slaughterers. If it takes an expensive lesson for T-Paul to learn to abide by the law, so be it.
ETA: I probably wouldn't turn a guy in for keeping an occasional fish or two over the limit, but I wouldn't feel bad about him getting caught, and if I knew he made a regular habit of it, hell yeah I'd call the game wardens.
