The U.S. Coast Guard and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department found five illegal fishing boats and 2,640 pounds of illegally caught fish off the South Texas coast on Saturday.

A total of 20 fishermen from Mexico were detained following the discovery, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release.
 

Coast Guard crews from South Padre Island and Corpus Christi first located four lanchas north of the Maritime Boundary Line.

About 2,090 pounds of illegally caught red snapper were located on those boats, and 16 men were taken into custody.
