Trial today

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.
