And you know it was not the first rodeo for them. Just the first time caught!!

I guess that is another dumb state that isn't allowed to confiscate the tackle, boat, etc. and auction it all off.

There's keeping a couple fish over the limit for yourself, then there's keeping fish with the intent to sell.

The laws need to distinguish between the two just as a they do with drugs.

$1900 is a slap on the wrist. A fraction of what this guy made all season selling fish illegally.
