Like Augy says, a bucket guy takes out whatever he reels in. Cat, carp, bass, walleye, whatever and likely isn't doing it so much for sport as for free meat I guess :? IMHO I use the term to basically describe those who do not practice catch and release, but essentially rape the FP lakes for whatever they can thus leaving awesome little lakes like Beck and Busse all but wastelands despite stocking efforts. I've seen guys take home a 3" bass! Literally, a 3" bass! why????? Anyway, I am VERY much in favor of the DPPD having a special fee for Opeka and policing it fairly well. It seems to be keeping a nice little fisherie nice. Yes, they could be a little bit more fisherman friendly, but at least it is there and has fish in it! If it were open to all the bucket guys, no doubt it would end up like Beck or Busse. So, I am sorry if I offend anyone but I do feel that the sport of fishing is offended much more by poaching and that is exactly what bucket guys do.
P.S. I usually bring a bucket to sit on and carry my stuff, so I am sure I appear as 'one of them *&^% bucket guys'!!!
