Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents cited a St. Landry Parish man for allegedly taking over twice the daily limit of black bass on the afternoon of March 16.
Agents cited Issac Godeaux, 42, of Krotz Springs, for possessing over the limit of black bass. Agents found Godeaux in possession of 21 black bass on Two’O’Clock Bayou in St. Landry Parish. The limit on black bass in Louisiana State waters is 10 black bass per person per day.
Possessing over the limit of black bass brings a $100 to $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Godeaux may also face a total of $147 in civil restitution for the replacement value of the 11 illegally taken bass.
Agents participating in the case are Senior Agent David Boudreaux and Sgt. Lance Devillier.
