Dierks Bentley performed in Colorado for the Seven Peaks Music Festival in Buena Vista over the Labor Day holiday.

While in Colorado Bentley decided to go on a fishing trip but was interrupted by the game warden after fishing without a license.

Bentley posted a video of himself in the passenger side of a patrol car. The video has since been taken down, but in the video he addresses country music counterpart, Luke Bryan saying, "Hey Luke, those fish we caught in the Cottonwood Creek this weekend here in Buena Vista, we probably should get a fishing license next time because I just got pulled over."

What is the biggest fish you’ve ever caught?
