Guest dano Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Not sure if there was much discussion about the guy that got charged $10,600 for having too many fish. But why is it that they got charged so much for a fishing violation? Yeah I know he had exceeded his limits and then some and I totally agree that he should have been charged. But over $10000?Just reading in the HUNTING NEWS section of this forum and no other fines were as high. Shoot a bull moose with no tag and on a main road $1500. Snare some deer,$3000. Shoot 2 cow moose with no cow tags present and leave the moose to rot $5000. just my two cents and I don't feel sorry for the guy but I really don't think he should have been charged that much. Any other views out there? dano Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TerryK Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I believe the fine is based on many factors, one being the sheer amount of fish over the limit and in this case it was 30 walleyes and 28 brook trout. This kind of over limit done on a regular basis, which we know these guys will try to do, causes great harm to our fisheries. Think of the cost of all the work that goes into the management and maintenance of our fisheries and think of how much of that money lowlifes like this waste.

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Also have to remember thqat he was originally fined 4600 bucks I think it was and the guy tried to appeal it and lost big time. So he could have had a lesser fine. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abes 5 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Stupid mule. I wonder if these big fine's are ever paid, they probably just don't ever apply for a fishing or hunting license again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wes Report post Posted April 8, 2008 $10000 isn't enough. He should get a kick in the junk as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 Should be that per fish found. Ensures that they can't even afford to go fishing again. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any other views out there? dano another way to look at it is that the fines for poaching a moose are to light, maybe the fines should go by the pound.
