all these f'n scumbags should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. like others have said, how many times has he done this in the past before he got caught? i'm sure the evidence will be pretty overwhelming...

I agree.
he got caught way above the legal limit of striped bass, after commercial season.

The sick part is that after getting away with it as many times as he did, he probably felt "justified" in doing so, since there weren't many times overall where he was caught.
It's a little like the acoholic that will claim they haven't got a problem, and can quit whenever he/she wants, only they quit when the problem gets them into trouble.
I agree...nail them to the full extent of the law.
Although incarceration may not be the way to go, heavy fines that follow them along with the conviction might help.

Unless I am mistaken, you are allowed to be in possession of as many fish as you want. However, there is a limit to how many you can cach in one day. My undersanding is those fish were meant for the freezer at some point. Nothing beats a nice filet in the middle of winter.

How many rapists, robbers, drug dealers, etc do you want to give a pass to in order to free up some jail space for guys who violate fisheries laws?
You know, the jails only have so much space, and even if states in our area had the money to build more jails---which they don't--where do you want them built? No one wants one in their own back yard.
Let's keep what this guy is accused of doing in some kind of reasonable perspective. |

Uhmm, I don't know if this has gone down this road before but Mike's response was reasonable.
If he is found guilty of this I think he should be fined heavily. I also think clear and distinct ramifications must be laid out in advance so that there is no question what will happen when one breaks those laws. Sadly, you can whimper a bit and the judge that is more worried about the "rapists, robbers, drug dealers, etc" and slaps the the offender with a $100 fine  . |

Yeah, he's been down a few roads with me before. Here and at SOL.

What is a fitting punishment is tough because a fine doesn't bother some people and jail may be a little extreme. One of the only advantages I see with having a saltwater fishing license is it supplies a method for a real punishment. A common practice in the freshwater fishing world for violation of the game laws is to revoke a person privilage to fish for 5 to 10 years. Could you think of a worse punishment for most fisherman.

I don't expect the guy to go to jail, but IMHO if some one is caught with 40 bass, then his truck, boat etc should be confiscated immediately until it can be heard before some legal authority.
Serious fines at the minimum, enough that it is prohibitive from others or the accused doing the same again. |
