I say, "Throw the book at 'em." This would be a great example for others to learn by. At least some of the sorry a$$ poachers are getting caught!

Reminds me of a near ticket my buddy and I got last June. We were fishing Johnson Pt. He had just landed a nice Blackmouth and was starting to bleed the fish when the Gamie pulls alongside. She starts to recite the "immediately upon catching a legal fish...catch record card." From the time I netted the fish, to the time we bled the fish, was no more than three minutes. She was alongside with a minute after that that... Pretty anal if you ask me, but I when she saw our CRCs, she know that we record our fish. He got a stern written warning... me too! I owned the boat....
