That is just criminal. All that and all he was fined was $232!!!! Several years ago, my dad measured an AJ to the end of the tail instead fork length. That ONE fish cost him over $500!! And this guy gets popped with dozens and pays $232. That's just a cost of doing business to him.

Isn’t confiscating his boat an option? $232 isn't even a slap on the wrist. He probably bought a round of drinks to toast his success.

You would think he would have lost his long-line licence at the very least! Obviously, rules don't apply to long liners the way they apply to lowly recreational fishermen & spear fishermen? Shameful & Outrageous is all I can say...

It appears that this guy is (I will apologize in advance)nothing more than a liar and a thief. He isn't just stealing from the fishery. He is in fact stealing from the industry that he is a part of. By conducting business in this manner he is obviously damaging all of the commerical fishing industry. I assure you they are not all like that.
