When are they going to ramp up the fines?

Well at least they got him and if caught again its a second offense. Yes a $1000 for a large amount of poaching is pretty low. Trouble is as the fines get big these guys will hire lawyers and find some way out. Seems to me though that a hidden compartment , etc means he's really "in the business" of poaching.

Guy was bringing the fish back to ma and selling them.....to bad they did not follow him to the state line and pull him over right after he crossed the line.....The ma epo's would have been able to cite him as well.....435 pounds @ $2.75 a pound = $1196.25

Let them hire a lawyer. Those costs will probably be a hell of a lot more than the actual fine.

Bonus points if these scum start hiring lawyers and still lose.
