Every game warden I have ever met has been totally cool. Jokes, laughter, check license, have a nice day.
Then again, I do not fish or hunt without a license, go over limits, poach, do illegal drugs, or be a stoned or drunken slob in public. You know, the stuff that makes a game warden not chill.

Every single time I’ve dealt with FWC they’ve been awesome. They just want to make sure we’re legal. Had FWC board a coworker’s boat, hold up a big AP they caught that day, then hold it up to the other officer in the boat and go “Look at the size of this fucking thing!”

Yup, forty years of fishing so far and never a single issue. I’ve only ever been asked to show my license maybe three or four times; I’m apparently really good at fishing where they’re not at that day. Sadly, often the fish aren’t there either!
Don’t be a jerk, have your license ready if asked (I actually keep mine in a license holder that has strings with Velcro on the ends that I put around my neck), don’t be trashing up the area, and you’ll pretty much never have any problems.
