It's like this with all fishery management. The punishment is so lame that it becomes an incentive to do it!
"They would not divulge the buyers name"...Hmmm. How about you sit in a cell until you do. Have you boys heard of water-boarding?, its a great game...here, have a seat...
IMO ( and I have told this to fishery officers), if you want to seriously stop illegal fishing of anykind, simply take way the persons right to fish for life on the first offense.
Boom, your done fishing, for good, get a real job. If you did this to a couple high profile fisherman...everyone will fall into line quick. A fine is a waste of time.
