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.

I have considered what the effects of killing legal bass are, but I can't find anywhere in my post where I said anything about killing bass. Could you point out to me where I said I'm for killing any fish legally or illegally?
My point was more about justifying any poaching whether it be scup, bass, eels, etc... Maybe I should have been more detailed in my post. Why should it be ok to poach one species but not another? To me, poaching is poaching. There are regs in place for a reason, whether you, me or anyone else agrees with them.
And please, George, find a post anywhere in here that I've ever made about poaching and immigrants. If you think that poaching is only done by immigrants, you're pretty small minded. I don't believe that's the case, but your comment sure speaks to your thoughts on it.
