They shoot you! Just kidding.
Usually they (conservation officers and etc) will fine you and in some cases are liable to withhold all of your fishing gear for an indefinite time. This would include your fishing rods, your boat, and anything that was used to assist you in fishing.
The best idea is just to go out and buy a license at your local vendor. Usually they aren't more than 20 or 30 dollars for a year (if you are a resident) and may also be bought online in some states. If you are a kid then ask your parents to give you some money for the worthwhile hobby, or you can even ask a relative friend if they will loan you some until you can pay them back (possibly with fish).
you will get a big fine!
you still go to jail
50$ to 250$
They (game warden) could right you a ticket costing you some money and possibly take all the fishing gear you have on you at the time.www.southernohiopaylakes.proboards.com
Usually between 150 and 200 dollars.
if i was caught without a license first i would ask, show me the document that you have in your possession that you own the fish and the water,and the poles are my private property,and to take them would be theft.It is my belief,we have a right to fish!huckfin
There will be a large fine in most states, but nothing that will go on your record. Make sure you don't get caught twice though, then they start coming after you. XCbadger44
In Ohio you have to appear before a judge.., in other states you could get arrested for having no fishing liecense if you get caught. For example in Florida you could get arrested because the fishing is really good there. Added: In most (all?) states, fishing without a license is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 1 year in confinement and up to $1,000.00 fine.
When she got caught the 4th time.
You can't. Luckily all unova pokemon can be caught without using a fishing rod.
You get anally violated
you get discriminated with the chance of life.
This should not be a concern. To be charged for this, you would need to be caught fishing. One could argue just cleaning equipment in the water if fish were not also seen. Catch and release is also technically NOT fishing but just practicing the skills you would need to fish later.
