Yeah – they clean them on the water to make it easier to take their illegal haul up the rocks.
Rob Snowhite sees this a lot when guiding and it's usually the same thing. One guy spots an enforcement agent, they start whistling, and everyone drops their gear and dumps their fish and they walk back up to their cars with no evidence.

yea maybe. These look like they've already been filleted though. Either way, contacted harbor patrol who basically said it was tough to police from a boat...

That's usually poachers who spook when they see someone coming and they dump their bag and bail.

DC/NPS enforcement is so lax it's not even "spotty."

Wife and I were fishing at fletchers yesterday evening, got into about 40 shad, one good sized american, a walleye, and 2 stripers! Fantastic evening of fishing as usual, but as we were packing up we saw this on the path by the parking lot. These look filleted. Pretty disheartening.
