Tog poacher caught

saw a post from Mike Laptew regarding a guy from East Greenwich who got caught with 21 blackfish- this clown tried to avoid getting pinched by throwing fish back and disregarded the commands of the EPO. managed to get himself several tickets s a result.

with a 10 fish limit, whats the need to be so greedy? in CT we can only take 4 fish per day- and that's till plenty to eat.

Repeat offender, see a lot of those. Take the gear, boat, and truck and let's see if they poach again.

Fish were alive and dumped - I'm thinking these were destined for commercial market. Apparently the market for live tog is still popular.

I’m confused about the comment that all 21 fish were returned to the wild. The article shows a picture of 21 tog on the pavement and they don’t look very alive.

I know of a guy who was busted in Bridgeport for keeping under size stripers that were blitzing peanuts about a week ago. He bragged about taking 30 in the morning and selling them for $1 a piece. Returned in the evening and had several on a stringer and somehow the DEP got him, so I heard . Took his rod, tackle, and fish.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Hows that being a smart-ass ? Looks like 21 dead tog to me and the article does clearly say the fish were released alive.

You can catch a tog and throw him on the rocks for hours out of the water. Then put him in a tidal pool and he will magically come back to life. I believe that they hibernate in the winter off shore and can go totally dormant at the flip of a switch.

At least one of those in that pile is suffering from a distended and extremely dislocated sphincter with his guts poking out of his ass.... Just because a few of the liberals in the political forum seem to thrive in this condition, does not mean fish can.
