Drove by Red Top around 11 and there was a pile by the scale. All of the food pantries on the entire Upper Cape wouldn't be able to handle the Red Top drop-offs, plus the fish that the EPO confiscated from poachers (whether you're unlicensed or over the limit, in my book you're a poacher). Lots of those fish will go to waste, and you had to know that anything under 25 lbs wasn't winning anything yesterday.
If you're not going to eat the fish----don't take it. Don't delude yourself by thinking that the fish will go to a good cause---cause you know what? The pantries wind up dumping most of the fish that gets donated, because the people that use food pantries don't want fish. They take it because they don't want to discourage donations, but people want stuff for their kids that's quick and easy to prepare--stuff like easy mac and cereal. That's straight from the woman that runs Bourne's food pantry.
