It's not opinion, it's fact. Have you ever been there to see it??? Too bad you despise one over the other, you should reconsider...I on the other hand despise both sides that don't abide by the law...even if they claim stupid...I guess you have different standards of judging people

If it is about abiding by the law, then why is the language part a primary focus? Have I been there to see what? I know all kinds of people poach. The language they speak is irrelevant, whether they keep 10 undersized fish in Quincy or 200,000 lbs on the bay. I don't have different standards for judging people, though I did judge the motivation for the acts. On that you are right, they are both bad as I believe I said. I also despise the charter boat slaughter off the block and the massacre on the banks of the canal and those are legal so I guess I will work on straightening out how I rank my despising.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I think we agree on the fundamentals that poaching is poaching no matter which way you slice it or who does it...the language part is used as the excuse of not being able to understand the law...when in reality it's ingnorence of the law...

there are (respected) members here who have suggested to friends that any decent fish they catch in the canal, they should give them a call and they'll come get it- and then sell it-

and they are good "recreational" guys....

the problem with striped bass is that they are worth too much
