Breaking the law is one thing and if that upsets you then fine, take it out on a bunch of immigrants.

As for hurting the fishery.........have you considered that killing a single legal #30 bass ( a female that produces millions off offspring each season) likely harms the fishery more than poaching a hundred small fish (that are primarily males)?

Small time poaching is much less of a problem for fisheries than the legal ethic of recreational fishermen that encourages keeping large fish.
