WTG wardens.

These guy's are idiots!!! don't they know you don't need a fishing license to poach?

Just one of the reasons I buy a license and not get upset about it. Good job DFW.

Boy, that's dedication right there. The wardens jumped in after the bag when Jeong threw it overboard...

I'm sure they know now!

You have a constitutional right to fish, hunt, poach, take whatever you want, and as much as you want. It's guaranteed by the constitution, and the california constitution, and the bill of fishing rights, also approved by the CPA (California Poachers Association). You don't need a fishing licence!

I would Estoppel the evidence and file a escheat immediately! Take these steps to pro se innocence you will resjudicata the hearing and exparte you emminent domain.

I am glad they busted and prosecuted them. I cant tell you how often I see people keeping fish that should be tossed back. Some people just dont care. Its interesting how it seems most these offenders are from a certain far east country.

Yeah, people complaint about a fishing license. Its use is disputable. But laws around the sizes of fish you can keep make way more sense. Also laws around what species you can keep and when you can obtain them make sense.

Spend some time on a pier or jetty and you will see people of ALL origins poaching.

they should publicly stone poachers.......

They should of called Wiredantz for advice

I did. That is how I got started in ocean fishing. You are right. Lots of people do it. But there are also trends.

Congratulations, State worshippers!! Land of the Slaves!!
 

You might be on to something....
 

I found this graph that might support your claims...

As you can see the vietnamese poaching is off the charts!

Let me get this right Tony, we all race poaching ok and not all Viet is bad bro and tho 2 got caught they not even Viet, are a lot of Korean people live on garden grove? That just my 2 cent bro, btw he talking about u Roby

This has got to be one of the most ignorant comments I've seen on this board. If you've been fishing long enough, you'll come to learn that poaching has no race...people of all colors poach and its a problem.

I'm diggin' that chart Ful-Rac...lol.

It's been a while since we've seen our good friend

I personally think the rest of us should get to use poachers as SHARK BAIT!

Criminals often factor in fines/jail time as "the cost of doing business" should they get caught. It's a big ocean, and since DFW can't police all of it all the time, one's chances of getting caught are pretty low. Therefore I see the excessive fines as necessary to make the criminals reconsider their cost/benefit calculations.

I agree with you on one thing, Silbaugh. Let's not call them poachers, when in fact they are CRIMINALS :cheers1:

Let's use the whole definition
 

Silbaugh,

If you are using the online links (looks like you used dictionary.com instead of Websters), as your example, then let's use the entire definitions

Further down in dictionary.com, it also states poach as a verb, that among others includes the definition "to take game or fish illegally".

At the Webster's link, it also states "also: to take game or fish illegally".

Let's not cherry pick parts of the definition, let's source the entire definition if we are going to use a dictionary as our source

Just on a historical note, both mention the word's origin in middle England. That helps explain the "landowner" part, because back then, the land and the game upon it belonged to the lord who owned the lands.

Looks like both Websters and dictionary.com have included the more modern definition of the term. Even Oxford dictionary from England has updated it to include "Illegally hunt or catch (game or fish) on land that is not one's own, or in contravention of official protection." In this case, official protection would be the gamelaws.

And for the record, I deplore poachers of all types, both private and commercial. You see it all the time, folk with too many lobsters, too many fish, undersized fish. All because the either think the rules don't apply to them, or think that they are the exception. It is, pure and simple, a case of where there is no sense of community or tribe. Folks are out for what benefits them alone, and to heck with how it affects those to their left and their right.

Just called the production line and talked to Smiling Mike, told him to get lines 3 and 4 going because we're gonna need more popcorn

Who's up for a friendly wager on how long it'll be before this thread gets closed?

Wouldn't that be by definition, violating their first amendment rights? I think moderators would be better off writing a letter to cease and desist under the guidelines that if they continue to violate forum policy that they may be within their rights to ban the individuals.

I am going to ban the next person to post something stupid in this thread............ready Go!

Wait....what do you consider 'stupid'?

You're absolutely right, if we're gonna mention illegal/ legal you can't ignore a law dictionary (blacks law).....

In English criminal law. The unlawful entry upon land for the purpose of taking or destroying game; the taking or destruction of game upon another's land, usually committed at night. Steph. Crim. Law 119, et seq.; - Sleph. Comm. 82.

It's not ignorant at all, it's just an observation, just like it's an observation that more black young men do drive by shootings than young white men, even though young white men outnumber them. To think otherwise is ignorant.

Of course people of ALL races poach, there's just a tendency that seems to lean towards the very FACT that people from the far East do it more often percentage-wise as a race. To think otherwise is also ignorant.

I can't wait til someone, ANYONE catches something so we can all talk about that and put this to rest. Just sayin'.........

I wonder how many.............................................. ......
 

Lobster & abalone the "old" guys took before they got caught,or maybe the old guy played by the rules his whole life and said F... it...I'm going to eat an abalone dinner before I die.....all the more reason to have a lottery for the taking of abalone

Last year over a dozen judges, and 450 (yes you read that right 450!) prosecutors were thrown off cases for corruption! And people keep worshipping the state!

Amazing!!Attachment 20115

They said these guys had 3 lobsters (2 weeks out of season), and 12 abalone. I pointed out how the commercial fishing industry wrecked the abalone and had to result to farming to keep up with commercial demands 4,400,000 lbs of abalone fished. And lobster brought in almost 900,000 lbs (same numbers it did in the 60's. Meanwhile, we're exporting most of these two things to China, Vietnam, etc. So nobody gets pissed at millions of pounds of our resources being exported for profits, and yet are outraged over 3 lobster and a dozen abalone??

And at the same time, misuse the word poach, negating the legal definition of the word

DEEP? DEEP?
 

I think we have gone off the deep end here! :eek:


A poaching thread turned into Asian poachers, scientific graphs, constitutional rights, learning about the definition of certain words, black drive by shootings, doubling down on Asian poachers, public official corruption, conspiracy theory, memes by the meme King...

What next?!
