Yes - can sell in RI, van catch in RI, cannot possess in Mass.

I'm gonna guess that shorts and limit were circumvented

Unfortunately with our legal system here, he'll probably get no fine or penalty and will be advised to seek legal action against the EPO for "lost time and wages" because of their "aggressive" tactics.

He should get fine, loss of gear (all of it) permanent barring from getting a fishing license. If he flips on all/any of his buyers, they should be informed that he was the one that ratted them out.

The harbormaster there is right on top of it. This isn't the first dip#^&#^&#^&#^& she bagged, and it won't be the last.
