Maybe you should have just "accidently" shot a few spikes from your nail gun  
I would have too pissed seeing that to not say anything to them. Those fish should have remained crabfood  No way would I let that poacher keep them. He most likely does it often  |

outfished: its town to town how much power they have.
some can't do anything but stand there and "suggest" they not take them.
others are town officials/etc.

I might of tried calling the EP's, but chance's are they wouldn't of made it there in time to catch the moron. Maybe hand them the moron's plate number. HM's usually are there to enforce boating issue's and not so much looking for people fishing illegally, I think? Just the same, people like that really peeees me off! |
