Some people could not get over pointing out that this is technically a no-no in Colorado, while others wondered if the guy may have accidentally caught some sort of protected fish. While this may be true, we tend to lean more to the side of the people who noticed the joy in their voices as they brought the fish up. Hilarious that the traffic starts to move and the guy hops right in his truck with the fish on his lap. Scroll on for the comments.
