they should fine him where he won't be able to fish again

 

Shouldn't there be a lifetime (or several year) ban against people like that being able to buy hunting/fishing licenses?

 

At a minimum the boat should have been confiscated along with the 80,000 fine.

 

That's unreal! You can't fix stupid!

 

Again, not to defend these yokels (they are stealing from ALL of us and giving all fishermen a bad name), but does it seem...STRANGE to any of you that they were able to get, on the average, 51 red snappers per person?

I mean, since red snappers are endangered and rarely encountered in the wild (according to NMFS). I can think of a number of animals that are endangered or under pressure, and you just rarely see them. I mean, I don't think I could find even 3 limits (much less 25 limits) of flounders, for example, or AJ's, if my life depended on it....
