As far as I am concerned the guy who did this is a scumbag along with the worst criminals in the system. I don't care how upstanding he is or isn't in the rest of his life. People who aren't scumbags don't harvest threatened or endangered species.
Here is what should happen to this guy..

Everything he used in this crime should be taken from him.. His fishing gear, his vehicle and everything in his vehicle or on his person.
If the fish was taken to his home then his home should be taken. He should never agian be allowed to fish or hunt in the state of Washington. and the fine should be 50,000 dollars per offence...

don't care what affect this has on him or his family. he lost all right to complain about such things when he dicided to become a criminal scumbag who doesn't deserve any consideration.
