After several trips, the DNR followed them to the cabin, counted the fillets, and busted them.
They had watched these boats and were 100% certain that all the fish in the freezer were caught on the TFF. They were most likely over the 10 fish possession limit also.
I'm sure someone can post a more accurate description of what happened and how it went down, but it did happen as it was reported in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel.
