A call to Minnesota's Turn-in-Poacher hotline is being credited for helping the Department of Natural Resources nab three men on Rainy River for overfishing.The hotline allows residents to call anonymously about resource infractions.
In this case, it led Conservation officers to find the three possessing a combined catch of 40 sunfish, 23 walleye and six northern over the legal limits.
Several more bags of fish were found in a freezer chest.
The anglers now face fines of up to $3-thousand if convicted.
