Should there be a comma after the quotation marks in this sentence:
"Hey Jesse, where did you put the fishing poles?", Sam yelled from the other side of the tent.

No, there is no comma. If there is an exclamation mark or a question mark, there should not be a comma.
It should go:
"Hey Jesse, where did you put the fishing poles?" Sam yelled from the other side of the tent.

It seems to be correct with a comma after the quotation marks. However Sam yelled from the other side of the tent makes it sound like a separate sentence. Try yelled Sam from the other side of the tent.

No, when it is a question, a comma is not needed.
Therefore, the sentence would be:
"Hey Jesse, where did you put the fishing poles?" Sam yelled from the other side of the tent.
U could also say "yelled sam" instead of "Sam yelled" to make it look less confusing.

there is an extra comma, not a missing one. it is between the end of the dialouge and the name Sam.
