LAKE WALES (AP) – Authorities say four anglers are on the hook for catching too many fish in a central Florida lake, and now face fines and possible jail time.

A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer got an anonymous tip last week that led to the seizure of more than 1,200 fish caught from Lake Kissimmee.

Each angler is allowed just 50 of the fish per day, with a maximum of a two days’ catch in possession.
